The walk
Iconic tastes that never go out of style, next to what the rule-breakers are up to…
Enjoy the sights and sounds of daily Parisian life as you learn how to source the best ingredients for a classic French meal.
We sweep through the backstreets of the Right Bank, embracing the laid-back mood of the French flâneur…
Perhaps you will fall head over heels for French cheese (like us…)
You’ll find what only Parisians know: that our lesser-explored covered passages are outrageously elegant. Sample iconic tastes in the footsteps of Christian Dior and Coco Chanel (breathing in the memory of her scandals).
Paris used to make terrible coffee.
Not any more. A walk through the roasters who changed that, with a pastry to match each cup.
For a century the Parisian café served an espresso that was more ritual than pleasure. Then a generation of roasters arrived and started doing it properly. We visit three of them, from the Grands Boulevards through Sentier and Montorgueil to the covered passages, taste their roasts side by side, learn how they are brewed, and pair each with the pastry that suits it.
Small groups. You will not sleep that night.
