“The painters set up their easels on the hillside, the dancers kicked up their legs at the street-side dance halls, the singers belted out folk songs at the café-concert, and the fairground strongmen hoisted weights on the boulevard. The golden age of Montmartre was beginning!”

To celebrate European Heritage Days, take a stroll through the seasons of Montmartre. Inspired by the illustrated album *365 Days in Montmartre*, published to mark the 140th anniversary of the historical society Le Vieux Montmartre, this presentation invites you to discover, from January through December, the iconic places and figures of the Butte.

Through a selection of pages from this calendar, Christophe Arnaud, the book’s creator, will offer a lively, annotated reading of this Montmartre calendar, rich in anecdotes, illustrations, and memories.
