Visiting the Marais through the perspective of a wine glass provides an entirely different view of this historic neighbourhood.

Once home to two kings, the quarter is dotted with the private mansions of the aristocracy who wanted to be close to the king.

Wine your way through the Marais and discover the Marais' secret vineyard on this highly original wine walk.

Join us for this exceptional experience as we meander through one of Paris' oldest quarters and explore another aspect of the role the vine still plays in the urban landscape. An exc...
