Description

Discover central Paris through its food on a guided walking tour led by a local expert. The tours visit bakeries, fromageries, and hidden courtyards, with each ending in a secret tasting experience.

The flagship 3-hour Le Marais tour begins near Saint-Paul with a freshly baked viennoiserie. You’ll sample artisan breads, fine cheeses, and enjoy a warm croque-monsieur at a café once frequented by Jim Morrison, paired with red and white wines. The tour continues through the Jewish quarter for a freshly made falafel before concluding with macarons and artisan chocolates from a high-end chocolatier. In total, there are ten tastings combined with insights into Place des Vosges and local historic architecture.

The 2-hour express tour offers a faster option around Rue Montorgueil, Les Halles, and the Louvre — areas known as 'the belly of Paris' for centuries. It features four tastings paired with French wine: regional brioche, Comté cheese from a renowned fromagerie, a truffled croque-monsieur with wine at a top wine bar, and a classic Parisian sweet near the Louvre.

Both tours operate with small groups, local guides, and include the mystery Secret Dish. Select the tour that best fits your schedule.
