Oysters & Sparkling White Wine

Your first stop features the exquisite taste of oysters, a true French delicacy. You’ll enjoy two distinct varieties of oysters, perfectly paired with a local white sparkling wine. If oysters aren’t to your liking, you can opt for some decadent shrimp instead.

Cheese & Wine at a Local Market

After relishing the oysters, you’ll continue through the charming neighborhood to a beloved local market, a spot frequented by Parisians rather than tourists. Here, you’ll savor a selection of renowned cheeses, perfectly paired with a glass of wine, offering you an authentic taste of the local art de vivre.

Discover the Charming City & Savor Falafal

As you continue your journey through Le Marais, you’ll arrive at one of the neighborhood’s most known stops for a taste of delicious falafel. Known for its perfect balance of spices and textures, the falafel has become a beloved treat for both locals and visitors that also highlights the cultural melting pot that makes Le Marais so unique.

  

Boeuf Bourguignon

After strolling through the neighborhood and sampling several French dishes, it will be time to sit down for your journey’s main dish, Boeuf Bourguignon. This rich and hearty French classic is the perfect culmination of your culinary adventure—truly embodying the essence of French comfort food.

Sweet Crêpe

With your stomach full of Boeuf Bourguignon and your mind filled with fascinating stories, your guide will lead you to the last stop, a charming, hidden crêpe stand where you can indulge in this legendary French treat, the perfect sweet finale to your culinary journey. The tour concludes in the heart of Le Marais, where your guide will bid you farewell.
