TourFood tour in central Paris

Embark on a delicious culinary journey through the "Womb of Paris," as acclaimed French novelist Emile Zola called it, and discover what makes French food so special! Explore the historic Louvre area, the lively Les Halles, once Paris's central food market, and Rue Montorgueil, a market street home to more than two dozen specialty food shops, including a patisserie founded nearly 280 years ago by King Louis XV's pastry chef.

Meet your guide near the Louvre and start your day like a local! Our first stop is an authentic French bakery, where you can enjoy some deliciously buttery French viennoiseries, like croissants or pain au chocolat. Also, try the famous "Jambon Beurre," a French favorite street food, a ham sandwich made with the fresh UNESCO-listed baguette, cut in half, spread with salted butter, and stuffed with delicious slices of ham.

Your next stop will be at one of France's most acclaimed pastry chefs and chocolatiers, where you'll have the opportunity to sample the fabulous macarons, a sweet meringue-based delicacy introduced to France by Queen Catherine de Medici's Italian chef during the Renaissance. You'll also learn about the title of "Meilleur Ouvrier de France," a unique and prestigious award given to the finest French artisans every four years.

Next, savor some of the finest French cheeses in one of the capital's best cheese shops! In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle asked, "How can you govern a country that has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?" It's no easy task, but we've selected the best for you! After your palate is properly satisfied, you'll have time to enjoy a meal at one of our favorite wine bars—a place completely dedicated to wine lovers. You'll have the opportunity to sample authentic cheeses and cured meats paired with excellent French wines. Each offering will be unique and captivating, something the French call "terroir"! Next, you'll have the opportunity to sample a surprise dish that originated in French cafés of the early 20th century!

Craving dessert? First, we'll take a brief digestive tour, allowing you to explore Paris's most famous market street, home to King Louis XV's pastry shop. Your morning tour will end on a sweet note when you visit the shop of another award-winning French artisan, a multi-generational family business that has created a very special brioch that you're sure to cherish and remember! This wonderful tour will give you a true and delicious taste of the finest culinary delights Paris has to offer.
