Comment from Chou Fleur

France is a great place to go wine tasting. There are 3 simple rules: look, smell, taste! At this stage the professional taster will spit the wine out, while the amateur taster (like myself) will swallow it. You can book a French Wine Tasting in Paris through Viator. The cavern cellar of O Chateau is located nearby the Louvre. The setting is intimate, the class informative and fun for those with knowledge and novice alike. The sommeliers are passionate, personable, charming and have a great sense of humor. The wine is accompanied by cheese, a variety of breads and coldcuts. A must do. Viator offers other wine tasting tours in the Champagne region, from Bordeaux, Dijon, Avignon and Rheims. Santé!

Love this recommendation. If you get a chance, wander through any local wine shop in a Parisean suburb, the French love their wine, and you can browse (and buy!) wines from almost any of the wine regions in France. And you can pick up some real bargins too - there is some quite decent wines for just a few Euros. Perfect for that picnic under the Eiffel Tower !
