Paris: Marais Food Tour with Wine Tasting

About this experience

Paris Marais Food Tour with Wine Tasting This guided food tour takes you through the historic Marais district, one of Paris's most celebrated neighbourhoods for food lovers. Over three hours, your expert guide leads you through local shops and markets while you sample artisanal chocolates, macarons, regional cheeses, and expertly cured meats. Along the way, the guide shares the stories behind each delicacy and reveals where locals seek out the finest ingredients. A highlight of the tour is a guided visit to Marché des Enfants Rouges, Paris's oldest indoor market, founded in 1605. Here your guide introduces specialities from Aveyron, the Vendée, and the Basque Country within the market's authentic atmosphere. The route also takes in specialty boutiques throughout the Marais, where you will taste pastries, French bagels, and falafel as you stroll through this historic quarter. At a stop dedicated to French wine culture, the guide presents a tasting of carefully selected wines served alongside the cheeses and other delicacies, explaining how regional flavours complement one another. Beyond the food, the guide shares insights into the district's history, the Jewish quarter, and landmarks including the Picasso Museum.
