The intimate and bucolic Montmartre museum embraces the summer vibes and once again offers summer evenings, every Wednesday, from June 28 to August 30, 2023!

It's hard to escape the flow of tourists that spreads out on the hill and all around the Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur on beautiful summer days. However, a little haven of peace is hidden in the Montmartre museum. It's a marvel, tucked away just a stone's throw from the Place du Tertre, and its terrace is as bucolic as it is tranquil.

The Renoir Gardens, named in memory of the Impressionist painter Auguste Renoir, stretch out to overlook the vineyards of Clos Montmartre and beyond, the vast plain north of Paris. One of them is home to Café Renoir and its magnificent terrace, the perfect spot to enjoy a gourmet break. The good news in all of this? From June 28th to August 30th, this place opens its doors to us every Wednesday for romantic evening events.

For the Summer Evenings, the café will welcome us every Wednesday until 10pm for one last rustic drink or a tête-à-tête dinner with sharing platters.
