WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
This tour varies by day and what’s open, but we’ll usually visit one of the top fromageries in Paris, where cheeses are aged to perfection in underground caves – a real treat for cheese lovers. We’ll be tasting these along with crusty baguettes and wine at a wine shop located in one of the oldest (if not THE oldest) building in Paris that dates back to the middle ages. In addition to tasting and learning about bread, wine and cheese – the so-called “trinity” of the French table – we’ll include charcuterie and some sweet treats from this neighborhood that is full of award-winning artisan producers. You can plan on visiting 5 shops of exceptional quality – these vary to reflect the season, your guide’s expertise, and your cravings – and eating enough that you won’t need a meal soon after.

ABOUT THE SOUTH MARAIS FOOD TOUR
The south Marais contains a lively Jewish quarter and is home to a large number of 16th century mansions, many of which have been converted into museums (Picasso and Carnavalet). It’s also home to many art galleries, a large LGBTQ community and world class shopping. The neighborhood’s diversity makes it a joy to explore, and its concentration of outstanding chocolate and pastry shops makes it wonderful for a food tour. This is also one of the only neighborhoods in Paris where high-end food & wine shops are open on Sunday afternoon and on Monday, making South Marais a great option if that’s when you’re looking to tour.

PRICE & PRACTICAL DETAILS
Our very popular small group tours are limited to 8 guests. Tickets are priced at $150 per person, including generous food & wine tastings. Tours are led by food & wine experts and last around 3 hours. We’re mostly moving & standing during the first 1.5 hours, with a seated tasting the last half of the tour. The seated tasting in the winter is always indoors and cozy and with wine, making this a great activity for cold or rainy days. Just come prepared with an umbrella and good shoes for the first half of the tour.
We’ll send you the exact meeting point upon booking, but you can plan to finish near the République metro stop.
Most of our tastings on this route take place in a beautiful vaulted wine cellar and we must descend (and later climb) one flight of stairs. It’s a beautiful space, but not ideal for guests with concerns about mobility. If you’d prefer to avoid any stairs, we suggest the North Marais or East Saint-Germain tour.
As with our North Marais and West Saint-Germain routes, this tour features some charcuterie. If you don’t eat meat, you can skip it, and there will be plenty of other delicious tastes for you to enjoy. If you prefer to join a tour that does not include meat, we recommend our Left Bank and East Saint-Germain tours.
