Medieval & Roman Paris

Paris Wine Walks · Paris

The focus of this walk remains the wine history of Paris and its hidden vineyards, but without the tastings (except for one celebratory glass at the end). Therefore, it’s perfect for families and kids, or anyone who doesn’t want to combine wine with walking. Join us for an extensive tour through medieval and Roman Paris, uncovering how wine shaped the city and why Gothic architecture exists thanks to wine. We start right at the heart of the city—Île de la Cité and Notre Dame Cathedral—to explore the true origins of the Gothic style and see how wine helped build and restore Notre Dame. Paris has a rich viticultural heritage. One striking example was the now-forgotten Clos de Laas, one of the biggest ‘urban’ vineyards belonging to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, thriving alongside the River Seine between Saint-Michel Bridge and Rue Dauphine. We wander down narrow lanes towards Hôtel de Cluny and the Gallo-Roman Museum, paying tribute to Paris as a center of knowledge during the Middle Ages while strolling past Université de la Sorbonne and Collège de France. Continuing onward, we pass sites like former vine plots such as Clos Bruneau and remnants of Montmartre Vineyard, whose grapes supplied taverners around Place de la Contrescarpe centuries ago. St-Étienne du Mont Church and Les Invalides each hold fascinating tales just like the vestiges of Philip Augustus Walls and charmingly quirky Rue Mouffetard. Meanwhile, Place de la Contrescarpe may be less known today, yet back then it buzzed with drinkers enjoying glasses of local vintages!
