Highlights

Experience the Latin Quarter like never before. Discover the soul of the Latin Quarter as you stroll through its charming cobblestone streets, visit hidden vineyards and discover the timeless allure of a vibrant culture. The Latin Quarter has been the muse of artists, writers, and poets for centuries, sustained by the foment of cultural exchange and the wines that were abundantly produced from the surrounding vineyards. The region of Paris was, up until two centuries ago, the greatest wine producing region in the world, and this tour celebrates that legacy.

Itinerary

  • La Fontaine Cuvier

    This activity takes you on an insider's journey to some of the best wine bars in the city, tantalizing your taste buds and awakening all your senses. There are 3 wine tastings, each accompanied by food. Starting in the second oldest park in Europe where we discover one of the city's hidden vineyards, we make our way past the spot where the Abbaye Saint Victor once stood and where the wines of Paris were stored until the 1950s. Our first tasting is in another hidden vineyard, held outdoors. The Latin Quarter undoubtedly has the longest wine history of any neighbourhood in the city. From the vineyards planted by the Romans on the Montagne Saint Geneviève, maintained and expanded by Cistertian monks, through the Abbaye Saint Victor, the wine storage of the Halle aux Vins and the taverns of the Place de la Contrescarpe and the rue Mouffetard, wine has been part of daily life for more than 2000 years. Somewhat later than other quarters of the city, the natural wine movement is slowly taking root and bringing with it a renaissance in innovative cuisine.
