Paris Le Marais Food Tour with Wine: 10 Tastings & 6 Stops
4.3 / 5 · 105 traveler reviews
This small group food tour covers 10 tastings across six stops in Le Marais, one of Paris's most celebrated food neighborhoods. An expert English-speaking guide leads you through French, Jewish, and Mediterranean culinary traditions that have shaped these streets for centuries. You'll savor escargots with wine at a local restaurant, sample artisan cheeses paired with Norman cider at a family-run fromagerie, and taste fresh falafel in the Jewish quarter along Rue des Rosiers. The centerpiece is a seated tasting of beef bourguignon and French onion soup in a steakhouse. Every dish and drink is included in the price, from the first baguette to the final crêpe. This tour is ideal for food-loving travelers who want to eat like a local without the guesswork of finding the right spots on their own.
Your experience
Stop 1
Your guide meets you beside the Pharmacy at Place de La République, one of Paris's major squares. After a brief introduction, you'll set off on foot into Le Marais, a neighborhood where French, Jewish, and Mediterranean food traditions have shared the same streets for centuries.
Stop 2
Step inside a traditional Parisian boulangerie and taste a crusty baguette sliced straight from the oven. Your guide explains what separates an everyday loaf from a proper Parisian baguette, and you'll share your first bite of the day on the spot.
Stop 3
Settle into a neighborhood restaurant for your first seated tasting. Tender escargots arrive at the table alongside a glass of French wine. This rich, buttery pairing captures one of Paris's oldest culinary traditions.
Stop 4
At a family-run fromagerie, sample artisan French cheeses alongside a crisp Norman cider. Your guide explains how region, aging, and technique shape every wheel, from soft Brie to aged Comté.
Stop 5
Walk into Le Marais's Jewish quarter along one of its most famous cobblestone lanes. Bite into a warm, crispy falafel from a beloved Mediterranean counter known for generous portions and bold flavors.
Stop 6
The centerpiece of the tour is a seated tasting inside a steakhouse. You'll savor beef bourguignon sourced from family farms, a rich French onion soup, and another glass of wine.
Stop 7
Your final stop is a sidewalk crêperie run by two friends who started with a single tricycle cart over a decade ago. A thin crêpe is made fresh on the griddle, folded, and finished with butter and a dusting of sugar. Your tour ends here in the heart of Le Marais.
