What to expect
You'll spend the first hour moving between specialist food shops, tasting as you go and learning how these businesses shaped the neighbourhood's identity. The fromagerie and butchery stops involve actual sampling, not just looking. The final ninety minutes are spent seated at a restaurant table eating proper dishes and drinking wine at an unhurried pace. Your guide keeps things conversational rather than lecture-style, drawing on their knowledge of the area's history and the people who work there. You'll leave with photographs and a curated list of addresses emailed to you afterwards.
