This small group food tour covers 10 tastings across six stops in Le Marais, one of Paris's most celebrated food neighborhoods. An expert English-speaking guide leads you through French, Jewish, and Mediterranean culinary traditions that have shaped these streets for centuries. You'll savor escargots with wine at a local restaurant, sample artisan cheeses paired with Norman cider at a family-run fromagerie, and taste fresh falafel in the Jewish quarter along Rue des Rosiers. The centerpiece is a seated tasting of beef bourguignon and French onion soup in a steakhouse. Every dish and drink is included in the price, from the first baguette to the final crêpe. This tour is ideal for food-loving travelers who want to eat like a local without the guesswork of finding the right spots on their own.
