From $750 / Tasting tour with a private guide / Up to 8 ppl

Enjoy Gourmet Paris

Explore the vibrant Marais district, full of art galleries, boutiques, cafés, and food vendors, while discovering its rich history. Walk along cobblestone streets to see aristocratic mansions, the Place des Vosges, the Jewish Quarter, and learn about the Knights Templar.

Then, indulge in a lively and immersive tasting tour along rue Montorgueil or at the oldest Parisian market – Marché des Enfants Rouges, where you’ll sample the best cheeses, cured meats, wines, pastries, and more. Your guide brings the experience to life with stories about the history of cheese and delightful anecdotes about French food culture.
