Why take this tour?
If there’s one neighborhood that tells the full story of French food, it’s Paris’ picturesque Le Marais. Uncover some traditional gems, meet the owners of family-run restaurants and discover the stories behind every classic dish. Along with French classics, you’ll sample some Jewish and Middle Eastern-inspired specialties, coming away with a complete picture of French cuisine.
Begin your tour with one of the true classics: a flaky butter croissant made fresh from one of the city’s best-loved bakers. Here, you’ll also enjoy a taste of homemade sourdough bread and hear more about the family who runs this local favorite.
Naturally, macarons should be at the top of the menu for any visit to France. Your next stop will take you to a master chocolatier for some tasty treats to kick off the tour. As a Meilleur Ouvrier de France – a title awarded to only the best in their craft – you can be sure that his are some of the best quality chocolates in the neighborhood.
It's time for a lesser known but equally delicious snack at a local food market: chickpea pancakes. Afterwards, you’ll be guided through Paris’ Jewish quarter on a short historical walk. As you explore a century old shop bursting with regional delicacies, you’ll hear more about the Jewish history of Paris. Enjoy some unique pastries in a family-run bakery, then get an insight into how the French shop for produce, all while tasting a delicious selection of cheeses and cured meats.
Originally opened as a protest against fast food, at the next restaurant you'll try some delicious French onion soup and learn more about the menu, which consists of locally sourced ingredients and dishes made from scratch.
Journey onwards to a pastry experience like no other! Mixing Syrian flavors with French patisserie techniques, you’ll visit a French-Syrian baker who crafts delicious pastry ‘nests’.
