 Why Choose Our Le Marais Food Tour?

Le Marais is one of the most fascinating neighborhoods in Paris. Its mansions, its old streets and its former Jewish quarter tell centuries of stories, while its boutiques and food shops bring the neighborhood to life today.
Our private walking tour lets you taste all of it. We start the day like Parisians do, at a local open-air market, and then walk to the heart of Le Marais, where historic architecture and gourmet addresses sit side by side. Between tastings, we share the history of the streets and the buildings around you, so every bite comes with context.

What to Expect on Your Culinary Journey

• Start in a lively open-air market: meet local producers and browse stalls of cheese, meat, groceries and fish. (We visit the Bastille market on Thursday, and the Popincourt market on Tuesday and Friday.)
• Taste cheese and bread at the market: sample local cheeses with fresh bread, right where the products are sold.
• Walk to Le Marais: stroll through the historic streets to the heart of the neighborhood, with its beautiful mansions.
• Visit gourmet shops: stop at a selection of boutiques, from a chocolatier to a pastry shop, where passionate artisans share their know-how.
• Taste the best of Parisian craftsmanship: enjoy a macaron by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF), one of the country’s most distinguished craftsmen

A Taste of Le Marais

During your tour, you’ll enjoy 8 to 9 gourmet stops. The selection changes with the season and the market, but may include:
