Up to the beginning of the 20th century, Montmartre was THE place for an artist in "Belle Epoque" Paris, the village being much less urbanised than it is today. Let's follow in the steps of Edouard Manet, Vincent Van Gogh, Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso and others. We will go from the boulevard where all the cafés and famous cabarets are to the top of the hill on small streets with signs of the former bohemian lifestyle of the artists, such as the Bateau Lavoir ateliers.

Located between Burgundy and Switzerland, this cool climate wine region, the smallest in surface in France and undoubtedly also the most complicated, produces wines with some similarity to Burgundy. Jura wines are distinctive and unusual wines, made from grape varieties such as Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Chardonnay. We will be tasting our usual 5 or 6 bottles, guided by our wine expert whom we met originally on a tour at the Musée du Vin in Paris.

Boulogne-Billancourt (metro line 9 or 10)
We have been lucky to get our hands on tickets to see and hear one of the icons of the French chanson, with his classics from a career spanning 40 years and this time accompanied by a 30-piece orchestra. He will also be reciting poetry by Ronsard in true French troubadour fashion. PAN has purchased a limited number of tickets at a group rate of 21€ for this unique evening.
Paris 16
Located in the heart of the 16th arrondissement, the Casa Candido comes highly recommended for its specialty of paella, either the traditional Valenciana variety or aux fruits de mer. Your hearty paëlla, plus dessert and wine will come to 35€.
