Where to Shop in Montmartre, Paris

A natural wine mecca, a jewellery atelier and a multi-hyphenated retail space that aims to encourage cross-culture collaboration between the African diaspora and the world: here are three of our favourite independent shops in Montmartre

Ignore the T-shirt stalls on the hill: Montmartre's back streets are home to a kaleidoscope of boutiques, ateliers and shops we'd happily spend an afternoon exploring. Here are three addresses we head to when shopping in Montmartre.

Rock Bottles

"Pet nat" enthusiasts, this one's for you. This British-run shop sells an intriguing mix of small-batch natural wines, craft beers and vinyls (hence the name). The owner is happy to advise you on the best bottles depending on your budget or the occasion you're buying for. It's in an authentic, un-touristy spot, so it's a great area to explore after you've stocked up on bottles.

Jordane Somville

Hidden in plain sight on Rue Ramey, on the east of the hill, Jordane Somville's boutique sells elegant handcrafted jewellery made in the atelier out back. The multi-talented designer and ceramicist makes all her pieces by hand, including bold rings and beautiful pendants (we love the Kiss collection). Somville also offers jewellery-making workshops, which, with advance notice, are available in English.

Little Africa Village

Little Africa Village is more than a boutique, though you'll find plenty of beautiful products on offer, spanning handmade jewellery and original artwork to the shop's very own Parisian guidebook. Founded in 2014 by entrepreneur Jacqueline Ngo Mpii - first as a tour company, then a publishing house and now a boutique and meeting space - the aim of this airy concept store is to "connect the African diasporas to the world, and the world to the diasporas". Pop in to meet the team and learn more about the rich cultural life of Goutte d'Or, Paris' "Little Africa'' neighbourhood.
