What to expect
Begin your tour with one of the true classics: a flaky butter croissant made fresh from one of the city’s best-loved bakers. Here, you’ll also enjoy a taste of homemade sourdough bread and hear more about the family who runs this local favorite.
From there, you'll walk to Paris' oldest covered market. As you follow your guide through stalls of multicultural foods and fresh produce, you'll learn how French street food was adapted for Parisian tastes and see how the French do their grocery shopping.
Naturally, macarons should be at the top of the menu for any visit to France. Your next stop will take you to a master chocolatier for some tasty treats to kick off the tour. As a Meilleur Ouvrier de France – a title awarded to only the best in their craft – you can be sure that his are some of the best quality chocolates in the neighborhood.
Afterwards, you’ll be guided through Paris’ Jewish quarter on a short historical walk. You'll see how to neighborhoods roots remain strong today as you pop into a beloved family-run bakery for a warm pastrami sandwich.
Then, sit down for lunch at a classic French bistro. Here everything is made from scratch, and you'll tell the difference as you try some delicious French onion soup or other classic dishes. During your meal you'll also learn the tips for dining bistro-style from your guide.
Journey onwards to a pastry experience like no other! Mixing Syrian flavors with French patisserie techniques, you’ll visit a French-Syrian baker who crafts delicious pastry ‘nests’.
It wouldn’t be right to finish without cheese or a glass of wine! Your penultimate stop is an up-and-coming cheesemaker where you'll try a flight of artisan cheeses. Then your last stop will take you to a spot specializing in natural wines. Here, you’ll meet the owner and hear about this fascinating world.
