Paris Food Tour: Small-Group Gourmet Experience with Charcuterie, Pastries, Lunch and Wine Tasting

Meet your guide near the Ledru-Rollin metro station in the 12th arrondissement in the late morning. Starting in the Bastille area and ending in St-Germain-des-Prés, this full-day food expedition lets you enjoy the best of central Paris’ culinary delights, so come hungry!

Feel like a Parisian as you take a guided stroll through the Marché d'Aligre, stopping to taste wine and cheese. After teasing your palate, head to a typical Parisian café for a lunch of seasonal French cuisine with wine. Enjoy the plat du jour (daily special), or opt for a chèvre chaud (warm goat's cheese), magret de canard (duck breast) or Niçoise salad.

Then follow your guide to the area of St-Germain-des-Prés, where you’ll satisfy your sweet tooth with tastings at three of Paris’ most famous chocolate and macaron makers, such as Chocolats Richart, Pierre Marcolini, Debauve et Gallais and Patrick Roger.

Take an afternoon break at a typical salon de thé (tea room) to rejuvenate with a coffee, tea or hot chocolate, accompanied with a delectable French pastry.

Enjoy a perfect finish to your tour with a visit to Paris Cave wine cellar (cave à vin), where you're invited to unwind with a wine tasting. Your sommelier will teach you about the major wine regions in France and reveal the interesting details that make French wines unique. Learn fun and useful tasting tips as you try four different wines paired with charcuterie (cured meats).

Your full-day Paris food tour ends here in the evening.
