This meetup is on SATURDAY.

Montmartre vineyards are roughly 1555 sqm, comprised mostly of gamay and pinot noir; production is very small with about 1700 bottles each year and about 40 € a bottle…
Since 1934 the annual Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre is celebrating the harvesting of the grapes. During 4 days the cobbled streets will be filled with celebrations, musicians, and stalls selling regional produces.
For more details: http://www.fetedesven...

We cannot do everything so here is the program of Saturday:
-3PM. We will accompany Le Grand Défilé, a parade in honour of Bacchus, with the Harvest Queen, people in costumes and brassbands, will start from Mairie du 18ème, go through the hills and finish at Place des Abesses.
-6PM: Sathish, a member of Photo meetup, lives near by and has kindly invited us to his apartment for a well deserved break. Please bring some drinks/snacks to share. His address: 105, Rue Marcadet,75018.
I will meet you in front of his building at 6pm. If you arrive late call me or Sathish at 06 46 76 56 72 to get the door codes and floor.
-8PM : We will leave Sathish’ place to walk to Sacré Cœur, to support « Pyramide des Castellers », a typical tradition of Catalonia which consists in building human towers; everybody- men, women, children, takes part! For the very first time, 130 Castellers d' Esparreguera will join us.
-9:30PM : From Parvis du Sacré Cœur we admire the Fireworks , with sound and light show.

Taking pictures, listening to music and drinking wine. How perfect is that?

It will be crowded, so let’s meet at 2:15pm , at the exit of metro Marcadet Poissonniers, line 4 or 12, and we walk to Mairie du 18ème. As we will do many places I will distribute a map of 18ème so you won't get lost (or less)
