St-Germain-des-Prés is food lovers’ quintessential neighborhood with its charming little streets lined with cafés and quaint shops ! The perfect area of the capital to discover the Parisian “Art de Vivre” as well as the French gastronomy and most importantly Champagne ! A great way to discover Paris off the beaten track.
You will meet your wine expert guide in front of le café des Deux Magots – an emblematic Parisian café. During this 3-hours walking tour you will make several stops to gather different delicacies (cheeses at one of our favorite typical fromagerie, bread at Poilâne, patisserie at Maison Mulot,…) while your guide fills you up with anecdotes about French history and gastronomy. Your last stop will be in a wine cellar, where you are going to experience a food and champagne pairing and learn all about champagne !
All in all, in joining this wine tour you might become an expert in Champagne, French culture and gastronomy… you think you could handle it ?

What a great way to spend an afternoon tasting champagne paired with food gathered from local stores while getting to know the Saint-Germain area. Our guide was knowledgeable about wine and pairings and knew the area very well.

Our Guide Raphael was great, we were just expecting it to be a traditional food tour where you stop at multiple place and eat, we stopped at multiple places and picked things up...ate and tasted at the end.

There turned out to be only two of us signed up for this tour, but our guide Raphael was happy to continue (despite the minimum number normally being three). Our thanks to him for that. What an interesting guy he proved to be. He told us he had previously been the sommelier at Le Grand Vefour which is probably enough to establish anyone's credentials as a wine expert. Essentially this tour takes the form of an introductory champagne tasting (at Les Editeurs in this instance) accompanied by what amounted to a tutorial about the history and process behind champagne. Having been primed with a load of new knowledge you are then taken on a walking route stopping at various locations to pick up bread, cheese, and pastries, ending up in a wine shop to consume the above and enjoy several champagne tastings. We learned a lot and enjoyed the trip immensely. The fascinating thing is that although the walking route took us to places with which we were very familiar, having visited them many times over the years, Raphael's commentary opened our eyes to lots of things we previously knew nothing about. His knowledge and understanding of the place and the history was as impressive as his appreciation and knowledge of wines. The tour took a generous four hours and was not rushed in any way. There was a fair bit of walking involved but much less than we would anticipate for a normal day wandering around Paris. If you don't enjoy urban walking or don't have comfortable shoes, this is probably not for you. If you genuinely want to learn more about champagne and want the opportunity to compare grape mines etc, then this is for you. Having experiences this trip we are tempted to explore the day trip options out of town.

We met our guide Raphael and immediately felt we were with a dear friend. His knowledge is so impressive and his patience for questions was without limits! Although we have visited Paris numerous times we learned more in this meeting. His knowledge of the area and the history surrounding it made this adventure even more fun. Then as we learned about the different champagnes and how to pair them ! Even a casual champagne lover will learn and enjoy. And for anyone that has some experience it will be a fun and enjoyable outing! Ask for Raphael you will make a new friend!!
