Itinerary
1. Begin your exploration of the food scene in Marais the French way: with a buttery croissant from a local baker. Sample some of the freshly baked sourdough and hear more about how this bread is different to any other you’ll find in the city!
2. At a historic market in the neighborhood, it's time for a lesser known but equally delicious snack: savory Moroccan crepes. As you bite into your crepe, you're guide will share its connection to French colonialism and how this street food was adapted for Parisian tastes.
3. It’s time for something sweet! Next, you’ll take a trip to one of the best chocolatiers in the neighborhood. Sample some macarons from a spot whose owner boasts the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France – a title reserved for craftspeople at the top of their trade.
4. Learn more about the Jewish history of Paris with a visit to this store, opened in the 1946 in the heart of the Jewish Quarter. Full to the brim with various delicacies you won’t find elsewhere, you’ll get to sample some of their specialties including a brioche stuffed with beef (or a vegetarian equivalent!).
5. Then, sit down for lunch at a classic French bistro. Here everything is made from scratch, and you'll tell the difference as you try some delicious French onion soup or other classic dishes. During your meal you'll also learn the tips for dining bistro-style from your guide.
6. A modern classic awaits at your next stop. This French-Syrian bakery fuses flavors of the Middle East and local French ingredients into little “nests” of joy. These pastries are pure delights and showcase the potential in combining two delicious cuisines.
7. Your penultimate stop is an up-and-coming cheesemaker where you'll try a flight of artisan cheeses.
8. The final stop on our French food adventure is, of course, a wine shop! This is the first shop in Paris for the longstanding Burgundy cooperative. You'll try two glasses of wine and learn how to pair them with cheese.
