The Goutte d'Or is a working-class neighbourhood in Paris, located in the 18th arrondissement. Not far east from the Butte Montmartre, it is one one the most cosmopolitain neighborhoods of the city, with a great number of North Africans and Africans. It is known for its open-air market, le marché Dejean. Additionally, some neighborhood associations organise festivals and communal meals.

The names comes from ancient vineyards, that gave a light white wine (Goutte d'Or means "golden drop").

This neighbourhood has always been working-class (at least for the past two hundred years). Aristide Bruant's sung about it in À la goutt' d'Or.
