Why take this tour?

Enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif in Paris’s storied Latin Quarter. As you explore the legendary streets, snacking and sipping along the way, learn firsthand how France's history has formed the way we eat and drink here in Paris today—all while supporting passionate small producers and family-run businesses. You'll try everything from cheese and wine to escargots and absinthe...and everything in between!

Your evening begins in an ancient Roman amphitheater, one of Paris's most impressive hidden gems. From there, head to a nearby local cheese shop run by two brothers. This old-school spot will give you an introduction to the fascinating world of French cheese: the history, legends, laws, and more!

Next, step into a private tasting space at a bottle shop located in one of the area’s best-loved bistros. This place specializes in small producers, and there's no better place to learn about natural winemaking, heritage techniques and forgotten grapes. Enjoy a couple glasses of French natural wine paired with a charcuterie spread.

Then it's off to a neighborhood bistro in the heart of the world-renowned, 13th-century Sorbonne. It's here where you'll discover just how the French Revolution changed the way we eat and drink here in Paris. Taste some unexpected dishes here: a delicious seafood bite and a bistro classic that should be on every foodie's list to try in Paris.

En route to the next stop, enjoy a stroll through the Latin Quarter and discover some of Paris's most legendary monuments. Your final stop of the evening is a bar that dates back to 1520 and is located just across the street from Ernest Hemingway's former home. This spot specializes in historical drinks, and the owner has even written an entire book on absinthe. Drink the controversial spirit in the traditional way and wrap things up with a fun game to test your knowledge of some interesting facts about France.
