Tour description

Discover the stories behind classic and modern French dishes on the ultimate food tour of Paris

If there’s one neighborhood that tells the full story of French food, it’s Paris’ picturesque Le Marais. Uncover some traditional gems, meet the owners of family-run restaurants and discover the stories behind every classic dish. Along with French classics, you’ll sample some Jewish and Middle Eastern-inspired specialties, coming away with a complete picture of French cuisine.

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.

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.

As you explore a century old shop bursting with regional delicacies, you’ll hear more about the Jewish history of Paris. Enjoy some unique pastries in a family-run bakery, then get an insight into how the French shop for produce, all while tasting a delicious selection of cheeses and cured meats.

Took the Paris Ultimate Food Tour with Vanessa. There were only 5 of us on the tour which made it easy to navigate around. Vanessa was super pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. I learned a lot not only about French food, but also French history. It was a perfect combination. You will not go away hungry. In fact, I thought it was too much food!

My daughter and i went on this tour and had the BEST TIME. It was a great way to explore the city, learn about some of its history, eat food I would not have found on my own, and meet some fun Paris travelers from the USA! Sam, our guide, was super knowledgeable and took her job very seriously. She interacted with us so delightfully and did a wonderful job. Highly recommend!
