Le Marais is one of the most fascinating neighbourhoods in Paris; a former medieval marsh turned aristocratic quarter, packed with history, culture and some of the best food in the city. This private tour combines exceptional tastings with the story of the neighbourhood, and with enough food to serve as a full meal.
We start the way every good day in France should start, at a local bakery. Choose a croissant or a viennoiserie of your choice while your guide shares the story of French bread, bakeries, and the culture behind them.
From there ,we move to a pâtisserie for something sweet. The house signature is a lemon tart, but you can choose from a range of delicious flavours. This is usually one of the best discoveries on the tour.
Still on sweets, we stop at a chocolatier for macarons in an amazing selection of flavours ,your guide will tell you how they are actually made, and how they got to France and you may never look at one the same way again...or France.
Moving to something more savoury, we sit down for a rich French onion soup that is sure to impress, one of the top stops on the tour. Not a fan? You can opt for escargots or another starter from the menu based on availability. Groups can also split and have both.
Next, traditional Breton crêpes and galettes made with buckwheat flour, as they have been in Brittany for centuries. You will have a variety of choices at the creperie.
We finish with two wines and a plate of cheese. Your guide will walk you through the pairings. There is really no other way to end a food tour in Paris.
Throughout the tour your guide will lead you through some of the most remarkable streets of Le Marais, showing off remnants of medieval Paris and one of the oldest buildings in the city, to the grand architecture of the hôtels particuliers, the Musée Carnavalet, the Jewish quarter, and the Place des Vosges, former home of Victor Hugo. Along the way, discover the boutiques, antique shops, and the vibrant fashion scene that makes Le Marais one of the most exciting neighbourhoods in Paris to explore on foot.
By the end you will have eaten well, learned the history of one of Paris's most captivating neighbourhoods, and seen it through the eyes of a guide who knows it inside out.
