Crash course on French Gastronomy through a Cheese & Chocolate Party
Embark on a culinary journey through Le Marais, the historic and gourmet heart of Paris. Discover this lively district through its flavours, sampling an irresistible mix of sweet and savoury delights, from artisanal cheeses, charcuterie to freshly baked French baguettes, exquisite pastries and chocolates imagined by master chefs. Our experience may end on a high note at a favourite bar-à-vin known only to locals.

The perfect balance between gastronomy and history. In addition to enjoying seven generous, hand-picked sweet and savoury tastings, you will discover a different side of Paris, one that reveals how food, culture and community have shaped this remarkable district through the centuries.
As we stroll through the area, we will uncover traces of medieval Paris, admire magnificent private mansions, or hôtels particuliers, explore the area’s rich Jewish heritage and understand why this neighbourhood has long been a melting pot of cultures.
Basically, it’s the fusion baby of that Marais Food Tour and the Marais Historical Walking Tour that you’re looking for.
