What you'll do

On our Secret Food Tour: Le Marais Paris, you'll enjoy a variety of classic French street foods starting with a viennoiserie/croissants, and collecting breads, then go and seat to enjoy a classic croque-monsieur in the very restaurant where Jim Morrison spent some of his time in Paris, along with discovering our mystery dish and cheese while enjoying a glass of red and white wine. Visiting Le Marais also means seeing the Jewish street of Paris and tasting some creamy Falafels. Then off to a world of sweetness for some incredible chocolates and colourful macarons, all of this crowned by a dessert to finish with style.

We will serve you quality wines, both red and white or, if you prefer, non-alcoholic beverages.

Our tour starts at the bustling heart of Le Marais near the famous rue de Rivoli, one of the main streets of the city. During the tour we will walk the old streets, cross the Place des Vosges and see some of the oldest medieval houses of Paris. You will realise how the locals live in this part of Paris and how the city's history and Jewish influence has shaped its gastronomy.

As the tour comes to a full circle we leave you near St Paul station but also walking distance from Notre Dame and Hôtel de Ville

Meeting with the guide at St Paul station, just by the Merry-go-round, you will first have an introduction concerning the area
You will then have a taste of a French croissant or Viennoiserie and learn about their stories.
At the local bakery to collect some amazing French bread
Stopping by a cheese store to collect some for later
Seating in Jim Morrison's favourite restaurant to enjoy croque monsieur with wines and cheeses
On a stroll to digest, you will go through the streets of the Marais, witness the numerous "Hôtels Particuliers", living testimony of the power of the Renaissance period Nobility.
Some tiny streets later, you will reach the "Jewish district" backbone of the Marais district and of course some freshly made Falafels.
Go to an amazing macaron & chocolate shop where quality rhymes with refined
All along the tour, your guide will teach you some great knowledge about both the history and the gastronomy to enhance the whole experience
And finally finish that journey through senses with a dessert.

*Please note: the itinerary and menu is subject to change, based on the locations' availability, weather, and other circumstances.
