Enjoy a delicious three-hour food tour of French cuisine in the charming neighborhood of Le Marais. Indulge in a wide spread of traditional pastries, cheeses, wine, and chocolates. Wander through the beautiful streets of Le Marais, a medieval arrondissement characterized by its narrow cobblestone streets, old timbered buildings, aristocratic mansions, and many hidden gems including the picturesque Place des Vosges.
Named for the marshland it was originally built on, Le Marais was once the headquarters of the infamous Knights Templar. Today it is one of Paris’s most upscale, diverse, and trendy neighborhoods, boasting a vibrant international culinary scene. With its bright mix of cultures, Le Marais is home to the Jewish community, and attracts art enthusiasts, literature lovers, fashionistas, and foodies alike.
Your tour meets at 10.30 AM in the very heart of Le Marais, and begins at a charming patisserie, famous for its elaborate decor. Here you’ll sample the traditional French breakfast pastry: the croissant. Your expert guide will tell you all about the area and the traditions of French cuisine, and then lead you around this vibrant neighborhood.
Next up is a mouth-watering tasting of a variety of traditional French cheeses with freshly baked baguette, and a well-paired glass of wine.
It may sound strange that Paris is world famous for its falafel, but it’s true, it is the most popular street food around. Head to the buzzing Rue des Rosiers, in the heart of the Jewish neighborhood, to sample some of the best falafel in Paris.
Now it’s time for a well-deserved sit down at a local restaurant where you will enjoy a delightful French onion soup paired expertly with wine. After lunch, you’ll visit two more specialty venues for tastings of iconic French sweet treats: a delicate macaroon, followed by award-winning chocolates from a renowned chocolatier.

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are limited to 6 guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining our uniquely tiny group sizes can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests in order to not split groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
