After our adventurous day of getting the Petit Paume successfully we were headed to the Salon du Vin for an afternoon of wine tasting. Two friends of mine, other English assistants, had been staying with a teacher from their school who had give them free tickets. We walked in, handed in our tickets, were given a glass, and headed into this big room lined with wine vendors. They were from all over france selling every different type of wine…and champagne of course. There was a man with a dried fruit display, people selling cheese, salami, sausage, chocolate…etc. It was incredible. We tasted all different types of wine and tried to strike up a conversation with each person because we felt bad that we weren’t going to buy any of the bottles (although there were some pretty good deals). Oh, did I mention there was Froie Gras too? Delish!
