Cheese, wine and baguettes are the "holy trinity" in France. Start your tour with a visit to one of the most unique boulangeries in the world. Using an oven built in 1765 under King Louis XV, you'll sample a number of local and regional specialties while learning about traditional French bread-making. Afterwards, you'll do a deep dive into the immense world of French cheese. Did you know there are seasons for cheese? Or why brie tastes better in France? We'll discuss the impact of aging, different animal milks, when to eat the rind and offer our professional guidance on how to select cheese on your own. Coupled with an extensive wine pairing, you'll also gain a solid understanding of French wine as well as fundamentals for pairing cheese and wine together. With a minimum of 8 cheeses (and more for larger groups), this tour often doubles as lunch for most people.
