1
Your tour begins in Montmartre at Le Pain Quotidien, 31 Rue Lepic
You meet your English-speaking foodie guide outside Le Pain Quotidien in the heart of Montmartre. It is a friendly, low-stress spot to gather, say hello to the group, and hear what you will be tasting over the next few hours. -
2
Taste award-winning baguette and breakfast pastries
Step into a local bakery known for its crisp, golden baguette and buttery pastries. As you sample warm slices and flaky bites, your guide explains how strict baking rules protect “traditional” French bread and why locals line up here. -
3
Sample macarons at a renowned patisserie
Next, wander to a patisserie where colorful macarons line the cases. You sample a couple of flavors with crisp shells and soft centers while your guide points out the small details that separate an average macaron from a great one. -
4
Stroll Montmartre’s hillside streets and local squares
Between tastings, you follow your guide along sloping streets, staircases, and small squares that feel a world away from central Paris. Stories of painters, café owners, and performers help you picture how Montmartre grew into an artistic corner of the city. -
5
See Moulin Rouge and the “I Love You” Wall
As you loop around the hill, you pause at the red windmill of Moulin Rouge to talk about its place in Paris nightlife. A short walk later, you reach the “I Love You” Wall, covered with hand-written phrases that add a quieter, more romantic note to the neighborhood. -
6
Enjoy cheese and charcuterie at a modern wine bar
Midway through the tour, you sit down at a modern wine bar tucked onto a side street. Platters arrive with soft, firm, and aged cheeses alongside cured meats and small French pickles, and your guide shows you how to build the perfect bite before you take your first sip of wine. -
7
Raise a glass with curated French wine pairings
With your plate in front of you, you taste a small flight of French wines chosen to match the cheeses and charcuterie. You pick up a few easy tips on how to read a wine list and talk about flavor, so ordering your next glass in Paris feels far less intimidating. -
8
Your tour finishes at Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre
The tour wraps up near the steps of Sacré-Cœur, where white domes overlook a wide sweep of Paris rooftops. Your guide points out a few landmarks on the horizon and shares ideas for cafés, bars, or viewpoints nearby if you want to keep exploring Montmartre on your own.
