What to expect
Expect a brisk walk covering uneven cobblestones, hills, and stairs across historic central Paris. You'll stop at four or five locations, spending 15–25 minutes at each, tasting food and wine as you go. The guide talks through the evolution of French dining customs and the significance of each stop. Croissant, board, chocolate, and wine are included; the pace is steady rather than leisurely, so comfortable shoes matter. Alcohol is served throughout.

Wear supportive footwear for cobblestones and stairs. Not suitable for those with mobility issues, spinal injuries, or food allergies. Children under 18 cannot taste alcohol. All-weather operation—dress for the season. Public transport nearby if needed. Consult a doctor if you have health concerns.
