Visiting the Marais through the perspective of a wine glass provides an entirely different view of this historic neighbourhood. Starting in the Joseph Mignaret park, we discover its hidden vineyard and the medieval history of the Marais. We then trace the wine history of the quarter, exploring the area where Charles V had his royal residence and vineyard, stopping along the way to taste a sparkling wine. We learn about some of the personalities who lived here, and end with a blind tasting of living wines, rustic fermented bread and exquisite cheeses in a wine bar.

Imagine, mon ami, diving into a Paris morning so full of life, where the pastries are as flaky as the Parisians are chic, and the coffee is as strong as their opinions. Marché d'Aligre, not just a market but a spectacle of tastes, smells, and good old Parisian banter. Here, we start with first bites, Paris-style: pastries so good they'll make you cry 'oh là là' and coffee that'll wake you up faster than a French kiss.

Next, we sashay through the historic heart of Paris, from the spirited Place de la Bastille, where revolutionaries once danced, to the elegant Place des Vosges, which is like the living room of Paris, if living rooms were centuries old and unbelievably gorgeous.

Then, off to La Rue des Rosiers, the Marais' bustling backbone, teeming with shops that are as quirky as a French film.
Our grand finale? The Marché des Enfants Rouges, where food is the language of love.

It's Paris, unfiltered and unforgettable, like a fine wine that insists you have another glass.
