December 6: Book Signing and Wine Tasting with David Lebovitz, Heather Stimmler-Hall, Keith Spicer

November 30, 2009  by Genevieve Sandifer

If you happen to be wandering by the Louvre on December 6th and find yourself wishing you had your Parisian second cousin on hand to point you in the direction of a meal that’ll really blow you away, or maybe a little advice on where to take a newfound Parisian flame, you might consider stopping by the ‘Caves du Paradis’ for some wine, a chat and a little required reading.

On December 6th, O Chateau and Context Tours are teaming up to present a wine tasting–book signing event with famed expats David Lebovitz, Heather Stimmler-Hall, and Keith Spicer in the Caves du Paradis. The setting itself is worth a detour; the historical cellars that constitute O Chateau’s headquarters are over 300 years old and used to house the royal sommelier’s stash. The guests of honor aren’t too shabby either: David Lebovitz, author of The Sweet Life in Paris, is one of France’s most pre-eminent Anglophone food critics and has a blog loved by professionals and amateurs alike. Heather Stimmler-Hall, an expert on Paris’ hidden gems, will be signing her alternative city guide The Naughty Paris Guide; and Keith Spicer, a Canadian journalist, will be presenting Paris Passions, his witty collection of short stories about – what else? – the French.

Attendees will be tasting a white Sancerre and a red Fronton, and one lucky raffle-winner will walk away with a free spot on one of Context’s small group walks. Thus culturally-equipped, you will be free to roam the Parisian streets merry, informed, and fully prepared to entertain any fortuitous encounters that come your way.

No need to RSVP. Please direct all inquiries about the event to lily@contexttravel.com.

When: from 3 – 5 pm on December 6th
Where: O-Chateau, 52 rue de l’Arbre Sec, 75001 Paris Metro Louvre-Rivoli
