About this activity

Combine Parisian cultural immersion with champagne expertise on this half-day experience in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A private guide leads you through the storied Left Bank neighborhood where Hemingway, Picasso, and Franklin once gathered, followed by an intimate three-course champagne tasting paired with gourmet cuisine in a specialist cellar.

What better way to celebrate your stay in France than by having lunch with champagne in an elegant, specialized cellar? Before your gourmet experience a private guide will show you around Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the legendary Parisian district that that many of the world’s famous artists, writers, and intellectuals have called home; such as Benjamin Franklin, Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso. After a stroll through the quaint streets you will meet a Champagne expert for a tasting of three different champagnes, each served with a paired dish. A gourmet coffee or tea with delicious desserts will end your lunch on a sweet note. A sparkling experience!
