What it actually feels like
Six stops. Three hours. Every order placed and paid for by your guide. You eat. That's the deal.
We start at a MOF-awarded boulangerie for what may be the best croissant of your trip, then move to a pâtisserie for the classic tarte au citron and a chocolatier for assorted macarons. You sit down at a proper bistro for French onion soup or escargot — the kind of stop most food tours skip because it slows them down. We don't.
Between tastings the city itself is the dessert: Place des Vosges, Victor Hugo's house, the oldest planned square in Paris (1612). Rue des Rosiers and the Jewish Quarter, with the Vel' d'Hiv history narrated as we walk. The oldest house in Paris. A galette and Breton cider. A glass of wine and a Norman cheese to finish.
