  • Our Food Tours in Paris, or rather Culinary Experiences, as they truly are, have been artfully curated by Michelle, a seasoned globetrotter and licensed guide-conférencière, drawing on more than two decades of travels across the world.

    Having explored over 40 countries and taken both group and bespoke food tours across Asia, Europe, and Africa, Michelle brings a global perspective to every walk. A passionate food-tour lover herself, she recalls her favourite discoveries from the street food of Hanoi to the refined flavours of her home city, Beijing, experiences that continue to inspire her Sweet Secrets of Paris tours today.

    Sweet Secrets of Paris Food Tours are never scripted and never mass-produced. We know our stuff and know our local artisan and chef friends - each itinerary is personally designed according to your curiosities, preferences and the rhythm of our private group.

    We offer limited departures because we value quality over quantity. You won’t find us herding ten visitors through narrow boutiques or crowded markets. We believe in respect, for our partners, for the local community and for you.

Thank you again, Michelle this was a fantastic experience that we’ll always remember.”
