"Ooh la la!" If there's anything likely to get us feeling in the mood for a little can-can at the end of the night it is undoubtedly France's finest gift to the world, Champagne!*

Ladies with class will love our Paris hen party champagne tasting activity which will see you celebrating your weekend in Paris while tasting champagne in an elegant specialized cellar. Before the tasting our English speaking guide will show you around Saint Germain-des-Pres, the famous Parisian district that has hosted the world's most famous artists, writers, intellectuals and of course plenty of glasses of this most celebratory tipple.

You'll walk through the picturesque streets, accompanied by our Champagne and learn just what it is about the French passion for this famously sparkling wine which is now protected and can only be produced in the Champagne region of France. You'll settle into the stunning, historic cellar and sample three fabulous Champagnes accompanied by local fresh delicacies.

You'll also learn how to taste wines and champagnes properly (don't worry, you don't have to use the spittoons, why waste it by spitting it out?!?) and how to detect the subtle and distinct flavours in different grapes and vintages.

Did you know...

*Stop press! Champagne is actually an English invention? English physician Christopher Merret documented the addition of sugar to Champenois wine which created a second fermentation and made the drink fizz and sparkle. All this was recorded and presented to the Royal Society in 1662, six years before Dom Perignon ever spotted the drink and 40 years before the Benedictine Monks claim to have invented the drink.

But don't tell your hosts, they get rather upset about it.
