Paris Montmartre: Dessert tasting walk with crepes & tea

Summary

Follow sweet scents through Montmartre’s winding streets

You’ll taste fresh crêpes and colorful macarons as you stroll Montmartre’s lively streets with a local guide.

With tea or coffee included and plenty of sweet surprises along the way, this is an afternoon in Paris you’ll remember long after the last bite.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect the first thing I’d notice in Montmartre to be the sound — shoes on old cobblestones, a busker’s accordion echoing off painted shutters. Our guide, Camille, waved us over by a tiny crêperie that smelled like warm butter and sugar. She handed me a folded crêpe, still steaming. I burned my tongue a bit (classic), but honestly, it was worth it. There’s something about eating sweets outside, with Sacré-Cœur peeking over rooftops, that makes you feel like you’re in on some Paris secret.

We wandered past the Moulin Rouge — just a flash of red windmill between traffic — and then up toward Place du Tertre. Camille pointed out where Van Gogh used to live (I never would’ve guessed; the building looks so ordinary now). At one stop, we tried these tiny macarons that were almost too pretty to eat. I dropped half of mine but ate it anyway. The shop owner laughed and said something about “pas de problème” — I think she liked that we weren’t too precious about it.

The best part? Sitting outside with our little plates of chocolate and pastries while people-watching. It was chilly but not cold; you could smell coffee from the café next door mixing with the sweetness from our table. Someone started sketching us from across the square — maybe just for practice, but it felt oddly special. The whole afternoon felt slow in a good way, like Paris wanted us to linger.
