We did the South Marais tour. Our guide, Faye, was engaging and knowledgeable. We are not necessarily big-time foodies, and my wife only seldom drinks wine, but this didn’t seem to matter. We enjoyed exploring new cheeses and wine and learned about croissants, baguettes and patisserie. The meeting location at Place des Vosges was beautiful. This excursion was not near where we were staying, but we are so glad we booked it, taking us to a totally different Paris neighborhood. A worthwhile experience.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time exploring the area and the wine pairing and conversation at the end showed the depth of his knowledge and passion for wine was exceptional well worth experiencing.
A true journey into the heart of Le Marais! Each stop allowed us to discover authentic shops and tasted yummy french products. The bread was just amazing and perfectly paired with the different cheese. The highlight of the day was the wine tasting masterclass in a beautiful wine cellar with our guide. It was really fun and I would say a must for wine and food lovers!
We absolutely loved our morning in Le Marais! The food was out so yummy, but the real star of the show was the wine tasting. Our guide was a wine expert, and we learned so much about French wines and how to pair them with the food gathered. 🍇🍷 It wasn’t just about tasting; it was an immersive experience, as we discovered the rich history of both the neighborhood and its wines. The combination of delicious food, stunning sights, and expert wine knowledge made this a perfect day for our family. Can’t recommend it enough!
