This immersive walking tour begins at the heart of Paris on the Île de la Cité, in the shadow of Notre Dame, where we uncover the origins of Gothic architecture and how wine helped shape and restore the cathedral.
Winding through hidden side streets, the stories shared evoke a tangible spirit of place—connecting you to Paris as it once was. From the Roman Baths at the Hôtel de Cluny to medieval centres of learning like La Sorbonne and the Collège de France, each stop deepens that sense of continuity through time.
History unfolds at St-Étienne-du-Mont, the Panthéon, and remnants of the Philippe Auguste Wall. The rue Mouffetard, once a medieval market route, still pulses with life, echoing its past.
The journey ends at Paris' Roman Arena and a hidden vineyard once owned by the 12th-century Abbaye St-Victor—where Roman roots and medieval traditions quietly endure. You’ll toast this living history with a glass of organic sparkling wine, feeling a lasting connection to the soul of Paris.

Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
15 min
Join us on a comprehensive overview of Medieval and Roman Paris, and discover how wine built Paris and how gothic architecture owes its existence to wine. Starting at the epicentre of the city on the Île de la Cité and Notre Dame, we learn the real beginning of the gothic style and how wine built and restored Notre Dame. We don't visit Notre Dame, but it is here we begin our tale of Roman and Medieval Paris.

Place de la Contrescarpe

Once surrounded with vines, this square has been a meeting and drinking place since the Middle Ages. The lively, animate atmosphere of this picturesque square has carried on without interruption. It is also where La Pleiade, a group of French writers decided to stop writing in Latin and popularised the idea of writing in French.

Arenes de Lutece
20 min
On the pedestrian rue Rollin, we pay tribute to Rene Descartes who famously said, 'Dubito, cogito, ergo sum'. We carry on to Paris' Roman Arena, which is nearly 2000 years old. A vineyard called the Clos des Arenes existed here in the Middle Ages and has been revived with vines now planted on three slopes of the gradients that once hosted the thousands of spectators who came here to watch gladiatorial combat and nautical jousting matches.
