Once the largest vineyard region in the world, the origins of Paris are rooted in wine. Today, hidden amidst its historical monuments and popular quarters, a surprising number of vineyards flourish within the city's parks and gardens. These vines are emblematic of the power of nature and the enduring appeal that wine continues to have in a city that was built on wine.
The Hidden Vineyards of Paris offers a unique viewpoint on Paris, inviting readers to explore this other, greener side of the city and celebrate its true origins in wine. Part guidebook, part wine book, The Hidden Vineyards of Paris includes the definitive census of the city's producing and non-producing vineyards, historical anecdotes, practical information, and a map to help the reader locate the vineyards themselves.
