Windows & Balconies of Paris: Green Lattice Façade on Rue Lepic, Montmartre

Along Rue Lepic in Montmartre, this striking façade brings a fresh burst of colour to a historic hillside street. Painted in a vivid green, the building’s long run of windows forms a repeating pattern, each one framed by delicate woodwork and topped with scalloped detailing.

The enclosed balconies, almost like glass-lined galleries, reflect a style more often associated with seaside architecture than central Paris. Here, though, they catch the light beautifully, turning an ordinary street into something quietly distinctive.

It’s a reminder that even in a neighbourhood known for its past, there is always room for a little individuality behind the windows.

The building sits in an area where layers of history often hide behind façades but this particular structure is not one of the district’s older, artist-era houses.Unlike nearby addresses on Rue Lepic tied to figures like Vincent van Gogh or Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, this building doesn’t appear to have a widely recorded historical or artistic association indeed its history hides behind its bright colourful façade.

Bon mercredi ! 

“Somehow, Paris always manages to be beautiful, even when it’s just quietly being itself.”
