Here your guide will share anecdotes of everyday life over a glass of wine, or if you are adventurous, a Picon Beer, a favorite of the local hipsters. Follow the narrow streets, tiny inner courtyards, and past the local vineyard, en route to a bar and terrace with a rather unusual panoramic view over Paris.
