France is renowned for its gastronomy, which is why the French are so remarkably accomplished in the craft of producing food and drink.
Wine holds a special value for gourmets. It is so deeply rooted in the culture that it has become the central symbol of France.

If you wish, the excursion can end with lunch or dinner at one of the most refined and luxurious Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris. Or it can be complemented by a visit and tasting of the finest French wines and gourmet products at the famous Fauchon shop (at extra cost).
