Paris is the most-visited destination in the world. More magazine articles, more blogs, more has been written about the Paris food scene than any other. So you can’t fault the locals for keeping certain things close to the vest…
Forgive us, neighbors. For we are about to take our guests on a walk to remember…
Through charming old passages…through the hippest + most historic parts of Paris, away from the crowds of visitors, we will sample the pastries — both classic and edgy — beloved by Parisians. Want to discover what the big deal is about French sweets like Macarons and Eclairs? And of course, the some of the Best Croissants and Baguette in Paris! Then onto wine, charcuterie, and French cheese, of course!
We zigzag past Paris’ most historic buildings, tour it’s oldest neighborhood… guide you through Paris’ most beloved covered marché (market). (As the marché is closed monday, we have an alternate route).
We stroll past in-the-know places to return to for shopping, dinner, drinks (and you’ll leave with an excerpt of the P A R I S > D E F I N E D MAGAZINE to show how to visit Paris #notlikeatourist…)
From delicious classics that are hundreds of years old — to cutting-edge flavors by daring pâtissières…savor the best offerings of a perfect Paris tasting walk…
…like a local would, stopping to enjoy coffee along the way..
We end with a refreshing wine tasting and the cheeses and charcuterie that make you think, ‘so, this is what the big deal is…’
It’s the best of both worlds, a walking tour of the charming, medieval, ‘le Marais’ neighborhood and an unforgettable tasting walk to the best and most delicious French tastes!
We take the scenic route–past all those interesting bits of Paris that you would have just walked on by if not for your ‘friend in Paris’–a neighborhood know-it-all who shares with you where Parisians hide the good coffee… and which boulangeries are worth the calories 😛
We enjoy the must-taste of some of the best bakeries in the City and visit some amazing historical sights along the way
Good to Know
All ages can attend. The group size is a maximum of 9 participants but we can arrange larger groups privately with advance notice, up to 33.
We will walk for about 2 to 2.5 hours of the approximately 4 hours experience with stops along the way. This largely takes place outdoors, with stops every ten minutes or so. So comfortable shoes are a must!
Be sure to bring an umbrella or rain gear — Paris is beautiful in the rain so our event goes on rain or shine.
It is not possible to avoid allergens, unfortunately.

Meeting Point:
In front of the gates to the Mairie du Paris Centre, across from the entrance of the Square du Temple park. Our walk ends in the lower Marais neighborhood, near the River Seine, a few minutes walk from the Notre Dame Cathedral.
This experience includes wine. Only guests who meet the legal drinking age (18) will be served wine. The abuse of alcohol is dangerous for health and alcohol should only be consumed in moderation. We have judgement-free, non-alcohol, alternatives so no one is left out…
