Description

On our Secret Food Tour: Le Marais Paris, you'll enjoy a variety of classic French street foods starting with a viennoiserie/croissants, and collecting breads, then go and seat to enjoy a classic croque-monsieur in the very restaurant where Jim Morrison spent some of his time in Paris, along with discovering our mystery dish and cheese while enjoying a glass of red and white wine.

Visiting Le Marais also means seeing the Jewish street of Paris and tasting some creamy Falafels. Then off to a world of sweetness for some incredible chocolates and colourful macarons, all of this crowned by a dessert to finish with style.

We will serve you quality wines, both red and white or, if you prefer, non-alcoholic beverages.

Our tour starts at the bustling heart of Le Marais near the famous rue de Rivoli, one of the main streets of the city. During the tour we will walk the old streets, cross the Place des Vosges and see some of the oldest medieval houses of Paris. You will realise how the locals live in this part of Paris and how the city's history and Jewish influence has shaped its gastronomy.

As the tour comes to a full circle we leave you near St Paul station but also walking distance from Notre Dame and Hôtel de Ville

Go to an amazing macaron & chocolate shop where quality rhymes with refined.

All along the tour, your guide will teach you some great knowledge about both the history and the gastronomy to enhance the whole experience
