Paris chocolate and pastry tour

 Paris is the city of sweets! 

Paris isn’t just the City of Love, it’s also the City of Sweets. With over 1,400 boulangeries-pâtisseries, 250 artisanal pastry shops and 55 chocolate ateliers, the French capital is a paradise for anyone who believes life is better with a little sugar.
On our private Paris chocolate and pastry tours, you’ll explore the city through its most decadent treasures, made by its most talented artisans. We offer two experiences: a local sweet tour in the 17th arrondissement, and the Paris Ultimate Chocolate Lover’s Tour.

Option 1 : chocolate and pastry tour in the 17th arrondissement

Meet Master Chocolatiers and Learn the Art of Cocoa

It’s a chocolate tasting in Paris that goes well beyond the box: you’ll learn what makes a great chocolate and how to taste it.
