Overview
Journey through centuries of French gastronomy in Paris’ most fashionable neighborhood. Explore the iconic Saint-Germain des-Prés area while you snack on French cheese eaten by the French President, a baguette tradition (we’ll explain) and modern farm-to-table French cooking from one of the city’s best Néo-bistros. Throughout this chic tour of les beaux quartiers, you will be transported through time as the history of the city of love is told through world-class food: from the finest caviar and salmon to (literally) revolutionary bread. All throughout, you will hear stories of thinkers like Hemingway and Picasso all the way through to the boundary-pushing Chefs of today. Paris’ Left Bank has seen it all, and this tour is the best way to get to know its past and present.
Meeting and Pickup
Your guide will be waiting for you in front of Bar De La Croix Rouge, and wearing our purple Eating Europe bag.
