At our cooperative, we believe that the history and culture of France deserve to be told by passionate experts, and that there are still many aspects of the history of Paris that remain to be explored. To this end, we have created innovative thematic tours that will not only enrich your experience, but will also give you an authentic and exciting view of the city of lights.

Tour description

Montmartre Tour + Wine and Cheese Tasting

We'll begin our tour at the foot of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Then, in the famous Painters' Square, we'll learn about the close connection between art and the neighborhood, which has been home to great painters such as Pablo Picasso.

The next stop will be at the last vineyard in the neighborhood. We'll discuss the historical, social, and cultural importance of wine in this area of Paris and learn the meaning of various words related to French viticulture, such as terroir.

Nearby is a picturesque park where we'll continue our exploration of the world of oenology. What are the main winemaking techniques used in French winemaking? Which stages are most notable?

We'll make our final stop at a restaurant. Here, we'll spend an hour enjoying a tasting of three wines: a red, a white, and a third, which we'll taste blind. Among the varieties we'll taste, there will be no shortage of varieties from prominent wine-producing regions such as the Loire, Languedoc-Roussillon, Beaujolais, Provence, Bugey, and Alsace. Minors are welcome to enjoy juices or soft drinks.

We'll accompany the dish with a platter of three French cheeses. Among the varieties we'll be able to taste are Comté, Brillat-Savarin, Crottin de Chèvre, and Camembert. It'll be the perfect pairing!
