Wine tasting : the clue to a better knowledge
Any beginner or amateur will have to taste wine. It is the best way to know the varieties and tastes. Fortunately, we have great places is in Paris to welcome you and introduce you to that matter. I will present you my favourite places : Les Caves du Louvre, and Ô Château (both located in the city-center).
Les Caves du Louvre
There is a secret about the most famous museum in the world. It’s called ‘caves’ and actually it was the place where king Louis XV used to put his wine. Today, these are open to the public. Many wine lovers come from everywhere to visit them. There are also some attractions : you can create your own wine and taste all the existing ones during the visit. Although it is not particularily expensive : you would pay 19€ for the visit and a 3 wines degustation, 23€ for a champagne and 30€ for a 3 wines degustation and a personnalized bottle. Trust us, it worth the price !

Ô Château
The best place to introduce you is definitely this one : Ô Château. They have all sorts of French wine on the market. Hundreds of wines ! In that place you can also have ‘wine classes’ to become an expert. Moreover, Ô Château was recently named ‘Best wine bar in Paris’. The staff in that place is completely bilingual (French and English), so it can be easier for all the tourists interested in wine. Isn’t that marvelous? The place is open everyday from 4PM to midnight. When you’ll be out from there, you will certainly be a better ‘connaisseur’ than we are. I’m quite sure about that…
