Le Consulat in Montmartre, Paris
The white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur was the motivation for our visit to Montmartre, but it was the delightful Parisian cafés that left a lasting impression. One that stood out from the rest is the charming Le Consulat, an old café and bar à vins on the Rue Norvins.
This tall, thin restaurant spills into the cobblestone streets of Montmartre, attracting locals and tourists with its fresh baked goods, espresso, beer and wine. It’s the quintessential French café, complete with small round tables, white stone walls and colourful flowers hanging in the window.

Love Paris! Montmartre is wonderful! I was there in the winter and I enjoyed buying mulled wine on the street and wondering around all the crafty shops and artists. I also enjoyed the area around the centre Pompidou which has great art showings inside and buskers outside. Oh and ice skating outside Hotel de ville 🙂
Oh, I love the cafés of Montmartre! You couldn’t feel more Parisian than sipping your coffee in a surrounding like that, right? 🙂 Beautiful!
I love this corner in Montmartre! I bring everyone who visits me in Paris through this area, and my fiance and I even have an engagement photo in front of Le Consulat!
I couldn’t agree more – I love France’s cafe culture. Great photo guys!
