Paris Latin Quarter Food Tour: Cheese, Wine & Full French Meal

Summary

Paris food tour with cheese, wine, boeuf bourguignon and sweet crêpes in the Latin Quarter

You’ll taste your way through Paris’ Latin Quarter: start with cheese at a family-run fromagerie, share charcuterie in an old bistrot, enjoy slow-cooked boeuf bourguignon with wine, then finish off with warm crêpes and sweet chouquettes. Expect laughter, local stories, and that feeling of being let in on something quietly special.

What’s the experience like?

You know that feeling when you step into a new neighborhood and the air just smells different? That’s how it was for me in Paris’ Latin Quarter—like warm bread and something floral I couldn’t quite place. Our guide, Camille (she wore these red glasses that kept sliding down her nose), waved us over outside a tiny fromagerie. I’ll admit, I was nervous about the cheese part—French cheese always seemed so serious to me—but Camille just grinned and handed me a slice of something creamy and sharp at the same time. It melted before I could even ask what it was called.

We wandered past bookshops with creaky doors and students arguing softly in French, then ducked into a little bistrot for charcuterie. The owner nodded at us but barely looked up from his crossword—felt like we’d crashed someone’s living room. The slices of saucisson were peppery and rich; I tried to say “merci” with my mouth full (not my finest moment). Camille poured us each a glass of red wine—“for the boeuf bourguignon,” she said—and I swear the stew tasted like it had been simmering all week. The beef was so tender it almost fell apart on my fork.

By then it was raining lightly, but nobody seemed to mind. We huddled under awnings as we walked to our last stops—a crêperie where you could pick jam or chocolate (I panicked and asked for both) and then this tiny bakery for chouquettes. Sugar pearls stuck to my fingers; I still think about that first bite sometimes when I’m hungry late at night. The whole thing felt less like a tour and more like tagging along with someone who knew all the shortcuts.
