Step back into the glamour of 19th-century Paris, away from the bustling modern boulevards. This tailor-made experience invites you to wander through the city’s most enchanting “secret” glass-roofed arcades—vibrant time capsules of mosaic floors and vintage boutiques. After feeding your curiosity, satisfy your palate with an exclusive wine tasting and gourmet lunch in a private VIP salon overlooking the stunning Galerie Vivienne.
Your private guide—an expert in Parisian history—meets you in the heart of the 2nd Arrondissement. Together, you’ll explore a world of architectural wonder. These covered streets were the height of innovation in the 19th century, offering the elite a chance to shop and socialise away from the muddy streets.
You’ll marvel at the geometric mosaics of Galerie Vivienne, explore the nostalgic charm of the Passage des Panoramas, and admire the old-world bookstores in Passage Jouffroy. Your guide will reveal the hidden details of the gas-lamp era and the neoclassical elegance that redefined Parisian urban life.
The journey continues as you meet your private sommelier in a secluded VIP salon with a breathtaking view of the Galerie Vivienne. Over the next two hours, you’ll be introduced to the soul of French viticulture.
Savor a curated flight of 5 to 7 wines—ranging from the bold reds of Bordeaux to the crisp whites of the Loire and the elegant sparklings of Burgundy. Your sommelier will share the secrets of terroir, grape varieties, and the art of professional tasting. This sensory experience is paired with a gourmet lunch of artisanal charcuterie, aged cheeses, and regional delicacies designed to highlight the nuances of every glass.
