Overview

Join our Paris Pastry & Chocolate Marathon! Artfully designed, experts-led Private Foodie Experience for families and couples, great for children of all ages.

During our expert-guided pastry and chocolate tour, you will:
- Discover a charming neighbourhood
- Learn about French gastronomy & its culinary traditions
- Taste award-winning patisseries from the world's best pastry chefs
- Hear expert insights, insider stories & funny anecdotes
- Feel connected to the local community
- Eat and shop like the Parisians
- Walk off (some of) the calories
- Practice food photography
- Create memorable moments with your loved ones

All premium food tastings included:
- 7 types of French pastries, viennoiseries, bread & chocolates
- You get your own individual portions, not a tiny sample found on regular group food tours

Our tours are never scripted and we only visit artisans that we consider are premium and qualitative enough to share with you. Feel free to reach out for more availabilities.

What's included

  • 7-course dessert tasting menu with generous portions and insider knowledge
  • Gratuities

What to expect

  1. 30m
    At our meeting point, you will be warmly welcomed and introduced to the itinerary and pace of our visit. Before setting off, we’ll take a brief moment for any practical arrangements, a short pause to ensure everyone’s comfort.
  2. 30m
    We begin our foodie adventure near the beautiful Square Boucicaut, just across Hotel Lutetia. Allow me to share with you stories about the mystical Rue du Cherche-Midi, that I used to call home. We will learn about the neighbourhood we are exploring, what the area was like in the past, get our bearings right and visit our first tasting stops.
  3. 30m
    Our experience continues with a discussion on the magic of an emblematic creation: bread. What makes French bread so special? What happens during the fermentation process? We will visit a century-old family boulangerie business to uncover some of our answers to these questions.
  4. 30m
    Next on our menu is a delightful discovery of 2-3 extravagant pastries, imagined by some of the winners of the Pastry World Cup, or similar prestigious competitions. Guests are invited to select their own individual cakes, rather than the small tasting portions typically offered on standard food tours.
  5. 30m
    Strolling along a charming, winding street that dates back to the 13th century, we delve into the fascinating world of chocolate, tracing its journey from bean to bar, exploring the art of tempering and discovering the ideal working temperatures that give chocolate its shine. Along the way, we encounter some of the most inventive creations on the market today, and, of course, indulge in a few irresistible chocolate treats from award-winning French chocolatiers.
  6. 30m
    Our experience will conclude at a location most convenient for you to continue your day. We may explore picturesque little alleyways, venture onto Boulevard Saint Germain, follow the traces of the first Roman settlers, visit an old friend and his charming temple of literature or saying hi to the oldest tree in Paris. You will also receive our personalised recommendations on arts, culture and food and drinks.
