Full description
From there, you'll walk to Paris' oldest covered market. As you follow your guide through stalls of multicultural foods and fresh produce, you'll learn how French street food was adapted for Parisian tastes and see how the French do their grocery shopping.
Naturally, macarons should be at the top of the menu for any visit to France. Your next stop will take you to a master chocolatier for some tasty treats to kick off the tour. As a Meilleur Ouvrier de France – a title awarded to only the best in their craft – you can be sure that his are some of the best quality chocolates in the neighborhood.
Afterwards, you’ll be guided through Paris’ Jewish quarter on a short historical walk. You'll see how to neighborhoods roots remain strong today as you pop into a beloved family-run bakery for a warm pastrami sandwich.
Then, sit down for lunch at a classic French bistro. Here everything is made from scratch, and you'll tell the difference as you try some delicious French onion soup or other classic dishes. During your meal you'll also learn the tips for dining bistro-style from your guide.
Journey onwards to a pastry experience like no other! Mixing Syrian flavors with French patisserie techniques, you’ll visit a French-Syrian baker who crafts delicious pastry ‘nests’.
It wouldn’t be right to finish without cheese or a glass of wine! Your penultimate stop is an up-and-coming cheesemaker where you'll try a flight of artisan cheeses. Then your last stop will take you to a spot specializing in natural wines. Here, you’ll meet the owner and hear about this fascinating world.

Reviews
The tour was great and having priority on the boat was excellent
If you’re reading this, book it now! You’ll be one of the first on the boat and get the best spot before anyone else. Daniela (aka “Daniel”) treated us exceptionally well from start to finish. Her knowledge of the falls and the stories behind them was the perfect balance of informative and entertaining. She keeps you laughing throughout the tour and enjoys the experience right alongside you as if it were her first time seeing it. 10/10 — I would recommend this tour to anyone. As an added bonus, our group had only four people, which made the experience absolutely incredible and much more personal. Thanks again, Daniel! 😉
