Welcome to Montmartre!
Bonjour, foodies! Your culinary adventure begins at 10:30 am in Montmartre, where you’ll meet your knowledgeable guide and fellow group members. This vibrant neighborhood is known for its cobblestone streets, sweeping vistas, and impressive art scene, and has long been a haven for artists and foodies alike. Throughout the tour today, you’ll be introduced to some of its finest bakeries and eateries, and with a local guide leading the way, you’ll also happen upon hidden wine bars and artistic clues about its storied past.
Wake up your tastebuds
First things first—a baguette. Not just any baguette, though, an award-winning baguette! While made of only four ingredients (flour, water, yeast, and salt), the Parisians have mastered this simple recipe to create a perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside masterpiece. While you enjoy, learn how the baguette has long been a staple of Parisian culture and how France even has a law that specifies the ingredients and methods that can be used to make "traditional French bread".
Next, it’s time to shift your attention to the sweeter things in life during a visit to the “Picasso of Pastry.” Named after Pierre Hermé, a visionary in the world of patisserie, you’ll soon be biting into an absolutely divine macaron. What sets these apart, beyond their incredible mix of crisp, fluffy, and creamy textures, is the exotic flavors on offer.
Explore Montmartre
Between stops for bites, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to explore the hidden nooks and highlights of Montmartre alongside your expert guide. Delight in witty stories and fascinating fun facts as you stroll along charming streets, but don't forget to have your camera at the ready. From the iconic Moulin Rouge to the famous "I Love You" wall, there's no shortage of photo-worthy stops and unforgettable moments to capture. Montmartre is a neighborhood that has managed to retain its soul amidst the bustling city of Paris, and you’ll undoubtedly feel that with every step.
Cheese and Wine
No French culinary tour would be complete without cheese and wine, and soon, you’ll find yourself in one of Montmartre’s modern wine bars. As you sip local varietals and taste your way through a charcuterie, your guide will provide insights into how these trendy spots are redefining the Parisian wine scene with their focus on organic and biodynamic selections.
After three hours of exploring, dining, and sipping, it’s time to bid farewell to your guide and fellow foodies. With a happy stomach and a deeper appreciation for the art of French cuisine, you’ll be perfectly poised to continue your Parisian adventure independently. Thanks for joining!

We thought we knew Montmartre...
Unverified Review
...but we were so wrong! My husband and I had a fantastic eating tour of Montmartre with our guide Claire. Eating our way through a city is generally our favorite way to experience a place, but we were shocked to find out there’s still so much about Paris we’ve yet to learn despite living in the city for the last year. This was easily one of our favorite experiences so far in Paris and we have done A LOT. Claire spent three hours showing us around one of the city’s best foodie neighborhoods, with historical information sprinkled in between all of the eating. (I counted EIGHT stops by the end!) We’ve already been back to Montmartre to repeat some of our favorite stops or to taste-test recommendations from our guide that we just didn’t have the time (or stomach room!) for. I’d highly recommend this one on your next trip to Paris.

Fantastic Tour! Thought this was going to be a bit of a fluff tour... Just an excuse to eat and day drink. Delighted to be proved wrong. The tour was cleverly designed, and the guide was very knowledgeable about how food and wine amplify the culture. She also provided insight into the history of the district. It was a perfect capstone to my week in Paris.
