Hello everyone !!! My name is Steeve and I will love to be your guide for your next trip to Paris. Let's start off with a bit of my own experience in the Tourism Industry. Born in Paris near Montmartre, I grew up on the left bank of the city in St Germain where I graduated from high school. I decided to study in the Travel University in San Diego in 1997 and 1998 before specialising in the Tourism Industry for two more years in Montpellier, south of France, and then becoming a licensed guide in Paris. I am also graduated from the French Wine University of Suze-la-Rousse and worked as a sommelier in Paris, before specialising in leading wine tours around France. I am very flexible, a real history buff and love guiding people. Of course wine and food !!! we are in France. I love my country . . . I only operate private tours in deluxe minivans with pick-up and drop off to and from your hotel. Before starting the tour, I love taking a few minutes to discuss the tour itself with you, so that I can better understand your expectations and make the best choices for the day, all personalised towards your interests and desires. My tours are never the same, because people who book my tours are regarded as individuals, so my first goal is always to customise your tour based on your wishes. I love to personalise my tours, share small anecdotes so everybody can enjoy the trip. You are not just buying an excursion somewhere, but rather a full French experience, where the guide makes all the difference. Hope to see you soon. . . - National Tourist Guide License issued by the French Ministry of Culture and Tourism - Professional Sommelier Diploma from the French Wine University of Suze-la-Rousse - Travel University International in San Diego - CA Could you please ask me directly by e-mail for my availability before booking with me, especially during high season from April 1st until October 31st. Thank you !

Overview of your Paris tour

The goal of this tour is for you to discover all the aspects of Champagne: the vineyards and history, a prestigious house of Champagne, a small producer and a commented tasting. Have fun !! ♥ Most Favorite tour for wine lover !! I will pick you up from your hotel in Paris at 8. 00 am in a deluxe private vehicle. Graduated from the French Wine University, I will teach you the main bases for a Champagne tasting and you will have the possibility to have a commented tasting with me in a unique Champagne bar. The best time for tasting is actually just before lunch ! Enjoy a selection of three or six glasses of Champagne in a great atmosphere. CHEERS !!! A little bit of history, a variety of visits and a tasting in the middle is the perfect recipe for a great one-day tour in Champagne in my opinion. I will love to share with you my passion and love about Champagne. You learn that there is a lot more to it than just drinking it and that there is a champagne for every time of the day

Steeve is such a knowledgeable and personable guide. We had a wonderful day in the Champagne area - Reims Cathedral, Veuve Clicquot tour, a fantastic lunch spot followed by a visit to Avenay Val D’Or and the small champagne house of Pierre Morlet where we had a tour, tasting and personal visit with the 3rd generation owner. Very comfortable vehicle and great communication from booking thru the end of our day.

Steeve did an amazing job sharing his knowledge of champagne and the region. He also added in historical information along our drive. We enjoyed his company and would definitely book another tour with him.

What a day from start to finish visiting the Champagne region! Vincent was our driver and was punctual with a comfortable VW van. Our first stop was to a small producer, toured the property with the 78-year old owner and 4th generation Champagne maker. Incredibly entertaining and such a once in a lifetime tasting opportunity. Made two more stops, a large producer and a nice sized tasting room. The drive back was a history lesson with Vincent! Incredible knowledge of WWI, we would highly recommend!

Excellent tour to the Champagne region, especially for those of us who enjoy champagne. Steeve has a wealth of knowledge about the region and its history. We toured one of the major houses (Moet) and one of the smaller champagne makers. Moet formal tour was excellent. Great lunch at a charming restaurant and then on to Pierre Morlet, where the owner personally gave us a look behind the scenes followed by a tasting of 2 of his champagnes. Fascinating tour and excellent tour guide. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour, Steeve was incredibly knowledgable and friendly. The whole day was perfect with a tour of a small and a large producer to give a balanced view of the region as well as a great location for lunch.

Steeve was a wonderful surprise! He is passionate about his job and the experiences and information that he brings to the tour. He was very knowledgeable and we learned so much not only about Champagne but also about the history of the region, it placed everything in perspective for us. Both of the tastings and "house" tours were perfect and he was so interested in adapting anything planned to our desires and interest. The lunch we enjoyed between "houses" was one of the best on our trip. Perfect!

Your Paris tour itinerary

Only one hour East of Paris, you will begin your day with a stop in the middle of the vineyards where I will explain to you about Terroir, geography and grape varieties. Following this, a private, guided visit to a small and exclusive local wine producer will help you appreciate all the stages of making Champagne wines, from vinification to labelling the bottles. You will be able to taste 3 different Champagne : a Blanc de Noirs, a Blanc de Blancs and a Rosé de Saignée. After this first tasting, enjoy the scenery whilst driving along the Champagne wine road to reach the village of Hautvillers, the birthplace of Champagne, where Dom Perignon invented the precious beverage. Champagne Bar before Lunch !!! Following your lunch, you will visit the most prestigious House of Champagne in the world: Moet et Chandon, or similar and you will discover the opposite of what you saw in the morning : Luxury and Prestige! Return to Paris late in the afternoon. Feel free to contact me if you would like to customize this tour
