About this tour
Spend three-and-a-half hours tasting your way through central Paris with a guide who knows the independent food shops that locals favour. Walk Montmartre or the Latin Quarter, stopping at cheesemongers, boulangeries, charcuteries and pâtisseries to sample ten different dishes paired with wine. You'll taste seasonal tarts, crêpes, macarons, chocolate and the tour's signature dish—getting a real sense of how Parisians actually eat rather than what guidebooks prescribe.

What to expect
Your guide meets you in the chosen neighbourhood and leads you on foot between specialist food shops. At each stop—perhaps a fromagerie, then a crêperie, then a pâtisserie—you'll taste a carefully chosen item and hear how that business fits into Parisian food culture. Wines arrive partway through. The pace is leisurely; this isn't rushed museum tourism. Expect to learn which shops regulars actually use, why certain producers matter, and small details about ingredients and technique. The route and menu shift seasonally and depend on what each vendor has that day.
