Fodor's Review:
In its turn-of-the-20th-century heyday, the building now used for Montmartre's historical museum was a studio block for painters, writers, and assorted cabaret artists. Foremost among them were Renoir -- he painted the Moulin de la Galette, an archetypal scene of sun-drenched revelers, while he lived here -- and Utrillo, Montmartre painter par excellence. The museum recaps the area's history; the collection's strong points are its many Toulouse-Lautrec posters, original Eric Satie scores, and its view of the tiny vineyard -- the only one in Paris -- on neighboring rue des Saules. A token 125 gallons of wine are still produced every year. It's hardly grand cru stuff, but there are predictably bacchanalian celebrations during the harvest on the first weekend of October. There's some basic info available in English.
