Itinerary
The famous Wall of Love, which you may have heard of thanks to Emily in Paris, is a beautiful work of art located in the heart of Montmartre.
A famous street of Montmartre, a beautiful mix of locals and tourists where you really feel the village atmosphere of Montmartre. It is on this street that most tastings will take place in many shops!
During this stop, guests visit a traditional French cheese factory to taste a selection of carefully aged cheeses. France is home to more than 1,000 varieties of cheese, each reflecting the terroir and craftsmanship of its region. Your Guide introduces the history and characteristics of the cheeses while you enjoy a small tasting, learning how locals truly experience one of the most iconic parts of French gastronomy.
At this stop, guests visit Boucherie Gaudin, a traditional neighborhood butcher shop that has been part of Montmartre life for decades. Known for its high-quality meats and carefully selected regional products, this butcher represents the kind of local food craftsmanship that has long defined French gastronomy. Here, guests will enjoy a tasting of traditional charcuterie while learning about the role of butcher shops in everyday French culture, where quality, traceability, and artisanal preparation remain essential values.
At this stop, guests visit Illène, a small artisan chocolate factory known for its creative and unexpected flavors. Here you’ll taste handcrafted chocolates made with high-quality cocoa and unusual ingredients such as Korean plum, five pepper, or wasabi. Alongside the chocolates, guests will also enjoy one of France’s most iconic pastries: the macaron. These delicate almond meringue cookies, filled with smooth ganache or cream, are a symbol of French pastry and craftsmanship. Originally introduced to France during the Renaissance, macarons later became famous in Paris through the work of the city’s great pastry chefs. This tasting offers the perfect opportunity to discover both the traditional elegance of French pastries and the bold creativity of modern Parisian chocolate making.
At this stop, guests visit one of the smallest crêperies in Paris, a charming hidden spot tucked into the historic streets of the neighborhood. Here, you’ll taste a freshly made French crêpe prepared the traditional way. Your Guide will share the story of crêpes, a beloved staple of French street food, originally from Brittany and now enjoyed all across France. Simple, warm, and delicious, it’s a perfect taste of everyday Parisian life.
The tour concludes at Chez Guilhem, a cozy local wine bar where guests gather in a private space to enjoy a relaxed French-style buffet. Here you’ll discover a selection of savory dishes prepared by the bar, accompanied by white and red wine. This final stop is designed as a convivial moment to sit down, share food, and experience the spirit of the French aperitif, a cherished tradition where friends come together over simple, delicious dishes and good wine. It’s the perfect way to end the tour and savor the flavors of Paris in an authentic local setting.
