Visiting Paris obviously involves its monuments, its museums and its historic neighborhoods. But to truly understand the capital, it can also help to step into a bakery, pause at a craftsman shop, or follow the aromas wafting from a market. The gourmet walks in Paris are precisely about pairing strolling with gastronomy, with several tastings along the route!
These food tours and gastronomic tours explore the City of Light from a new angle. Depending on the itineraries, the stroll may focus on a neighborhood and its history, French specialties, the craftsmanship of artisans, or a particular theme. Pastry, chocolate, cheese, charcuterie, bread or wine then become as many excuses to discover the city and those who contribute to its gourmet scene.
The format is especially popular with visitors who want to go beyond a simple restaurant booking. On foot, often accompanied by a guide, participants move from one venue to another while uncovering anecdotes, heritage, and Parisian culinary habits, or they can explore a single place inside out, discovering its history and sampling its production along the way.
A way to pair the useful with the delicious! So, here come the gastronomic walks, food tours and culinary visits to discover in Paris.
