About this tour
A three-hour guided food tour through Le Marais with a local expert and up to five fellow travellers. You'll work your way along medieval streets stopping at neighbourhood spots for croissants, cheese and wine, falafels, French onion soup, and chocolate. Le Marais has evolved from its Templar past into a hub of independent restaurants and food culture, and this tour hits the highlights without the tourist crowds.

- Cheese and baguette with wine pairing
- Savoury falafels from a local vendor

What to expect
Your guide meets you in Le Marais's heart and steers you through winding cobbled passages, stopping at working food shops and eateries rather than sit-down restaurants. Each stop is brief—you'll eat standing up or moving between venues. Expect to taste around six items across three hours, with wine poured to match each course. The pace is steady but manageable; you're walking maybe a kilometre total with plenty of pauses. Your guide handles recommendations and logistics; you handle hunger and curiosity.
