The experience

You'll walk through Paris like a local shopping for dinner, stopping at high-end boutiques and neighborhood markets to sample as you go. Your guide shares the history of each stop and the stories behind the specialties (aged Comté, artisan chocolates, handmade pastries, freshly baked breads, fine cured meats), and pairs them with French wines. The route is built around real shops and producers, not a fixed sequence, so what you taste depends on the day and the season.

The Montmartre tour passes Sacré-Cœur Basilica and ends at a cozy spot where you gather everything you've collected and taste it together with wine and the signature secret dish. The Notre Dame route winds through Le Marais and medieval streets, crosses both Île Saint-Louis and Île de la Cité, and passes Notre-Dame, the Pantheon, and Shakespeare and Company before reaching the Latin Quarter. The 2-hour express stays in central Paris and covers the same ground in less time. All three routes include a praline brioche, aged Comté, a truffled ham croque monsieur with wine, fine red and white wines, artisanal cheeses, authentic macarons, seasonal pastry or artisan chocolates, and the secret dish.

The tour runs 2 to 3.5 hours depending on which route you pick. Public transportation is nearby if you need it. Vegetarians are welcome. Vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets cannot be accommodated. Infants sit on an adult's lap. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
