“We would not have known about this if our daughter hadn't booked it a couple of years ago. It is a small group wine and cheese tasting. Hosted by the owner of the wine shop himself. There were only 14 people on the afternoon that we went. You will taste and learn about the different wines/grapes from around the region in an intimate setting. It was really nice and relaxing after doing all the touristy things for two days. One of my favorite things we did in Paris.”
