\"Paris<\/p>\n

Paris is known as the City of Light, a city of beautiful architecture and enough museums and galleries to keep you occupied for months on end, not to mention the shopping…. And then, there’s the food.\u00a0 Over recent years, culinary tourism has become more and more popular and now, as well as the guided tours of the city’s sights and monuments, you can find tours of some of the city’s “musts” when it comes to eats and drinks.<\/p>\n

\"Cheese<\/p>\n

A guided tour, you ask?\u00a0 Well yes, but not like you are picturing.\u00a0 A guided food-themed tour (or even a few!) – especially at the start of your trip – is a great way to get your bearings in the city and it will definitely help you plan your meals and snacks if that is the type of traveller you are (I know I am !).\u00a0 A food tour led by a local guide can be key in obtaining “insider tips” for places to eat and drink that are a bit off the regular tourist trail.<\/p>\n

\"Pates<\/p>\n

Over the past few years when visiting Paris, I have had the privilege of joining in a fair number of Paris food tours<\/a> and can highly recommend the following:<\/p>\n

Context Paris: Chocolates and Pastries in Paris<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Context describes themselves as offering “in-depth walking seminars for small groups of intellectually curious travellers<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 Their tours are themed around different interests – history, architecture or food – and are led by locals in the know.\u00a0 This tour is a great way to discover pastries and sweets on the Left Bank – you’ll be led through a series of p\u00e2tisseries<\/em> and\u00a0 chocolatiers<\/em>, tasting as you go. It’s a wonderful way to find places to re-visit during the rest of your trip!<\/p>\n

Context Paris: The New Parisian Palate \u2013 A modern taste of the Marais<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This tour of the upper Marais (now known as The New Parisian Palate: Modern Tastes of the Marais).\u00a0 \u201cBobo\u201d is short for \u201cBourgeois-Bohemian\u201d (in other words, hip!), and the tour takes place in an area of the Marais which is home to one of what Context call \u201cParis\u2019 most exciting gastronomic districts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Context Paris: Baguette to Bistro: Culinary Traditions of Paris<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is Context’s Left Bank tour focussing on culinary traditions.\u00a0 You’ll learn all about how the neighbourhood boulangerie<\/em> is just as important as the “grands restaurants<\/em>” in a 2.5 hour tour of specialty food shops, p\u00e2tisseries<\/em> and bakeries.<\/p>\n

Context Paris: A tour of the March\u00e9 d’Aligre<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The March\u00e9 d\u2019Aligre<\/em> is a neighborhood market in the 12th arrondissement<\/em> which is not so well known by tourists yet well-frequented by locals. The tour offers a leisurely stroll through the market where you’ll learn how Parisians shop for their food and about concepts like terroir.<\/em> Taking in the market with a local makes it a lot more “do-able” for those who are new to the idea and is a great way to “practice” for when you are on your own later in your trip!<\/p>\n

Flavors of Paris: The original tour<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This tour, based in and around the St Germain des Pr\u00e9s area on the Left Bank, takes in local shops, markets and restaurants. You’ll sample everything from baguettes and chocolates to exquisite olive oils and, of course, great wine paired with fabulous cheese.\u00a0 The stops on each tour change according to what’s open and what’s in season.<\/p>\n

\"Oeufs<\/p>\n

La Cuisine Paris “Let them eat cake: A chocolate and pastry tour of Paris<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tour takes place in the trendy Marais area on the Right Bank.\u00a0 You will explore a number of La Cuisine Paris’ favourite sweet boutiques, checking out tasty treats from macarons and pastries to pralines and chocolate.\u00a0 You receive a map at the end of the tour so you can plot your way back to your favourite spots later in your stay!<\/p>\n

La Cuisine Paris wine and cheese workshop<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever stood in a wine and\/or cheese store in France and been overwhelmed by the choices? There are something like 400+ cheeses (and goodness knows how many wines) in France so choosing just one can be challenging if you don\u2019t know what to look for or ask for or you just don\u2019t recognize the names in front of you\u2026 Enter this La Cuisine Paris part-tour, part-tasting where you’ll shop for cheese and wine with a local chef then indulge in a very pleasant and informative afternoon of tasting which will leave you feeling more confident in your ability to shop for both cheese and wine in France.<\/p>\n

La Cuisine Paris: Fit for a King “Le Potager du roi in Versailles”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This offering from La Cuisine is not your typical Versailles tour – you don’t get to see the Ch\u00e2teau at all (unless you choose to) \u2013 instead, you explore the King\u2019s Kitchen Garden, then the local market, after which you are served a four course lunch.\u00a0 After lunch, if you choose, you can head to the Ch\u00e2teau which you can visit at your leisure (that day or anytime for the next two years as that\u2019s how long the tickets are valid). A really unique take on Versailles!<\/p>\n

\"Fresh<\/p>\n

Localers Eiffel Tower Food Tour<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

With the Eiffel Tower in the background, this tour takes in an unexpectedly (for me) vibrant food scene against the backdrop of the classy architecture of the 7th arrondissement<\/em>. While there was definitely a food focus, this tour is not just<\/em> about the food. Ma\u00ebl, our guide, also shared information about history, architecture and art, so there\u2019s definitely something for everyone to learn about!<\/p>\n

Localers Food Tour by the Canal St Martin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Leave the tourist traps behind, this tour in the 10th arrondissement<\/em> (a neighbourhood you definitely wouldn’t have seen anyone other than locals venturing into back when I lived in Paris over a decade ago!) showcases the Canal Saint-Martin, now home to a thriving artisinal food scene.\u00a0 You’ll check out baked goods, charcuterie, vegetables and fruits and coffee all in the picturesque surrounding of the Canal and the streets around it.\u00a0 You’ll end the tour in a wine bar enjoying some well-paired cheeses.<\/p>\n

Paris by Mouth: Taste of the Marais<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because it’s a city with an ever-changing culinary landscape, I never feel like I am totally up to speed with all that’s happening in Paris.\u00a0 This is one of a number of Marais food tours I have taken but I learn something different each time.\u00a0 On this tour, you’ll taste bread and pastries from an award-winning bakery, then work your way around the neighbourhood checking out artisinal food stores tasting cheese, chocolates and charcuterie, ending in the oldest covered market in Paris sipping wine expertly paired with cheese.<\/p>\n
