WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE ON THE LEFT BANK
Discover Saint-Germain, the elegant Parisian neighborhood beloved by food lovers worldwide for its historic cafés, independent bookstores, and exceptional culinary shops. This intimate 3-hour culinary journey is limited to just 8 guests—small enough to access the tiniest and most special artisan shops that simply cannot accommodate larger tour groups. Your guide is a culinary professional with years of expertise in French food and wine—not a script-reading student, but a true expert who can teach you to identify quality like a Parisian.
You’ll visit five exceptional artisan shops in this gastronomically-gifted quarter, each representing the pinnacle of their craft. We’ll sample iconic breads from a world-famous bakery whose creations have earned legendary status among Parisians. You’ll explore a historic covered market and select an array of perfectly aged cheeses from a specialist fromagerie, learning to appreciate the nuances of raw milk cheeses and regional differences. We’ll indulge in rich chocolate and show-stopping pâtisserie from a master pastry chef whose technique transforms sugar, butter, and cream into edible art. This is our original Saint-Germain food tour.
The experience culminates in a relaxed seated pairing of wine, cheese, and bread, finishing on a sweet note. Unlike tours that rush you from shop to shop, eating on the street, we conclude with a civilized finale where you can savor, ask questions, and truly appreciate the pairings. This tour does not include any meat, making it ideal for vegetarians. If you’re craving charcuterie, we recommend our North Marais, South Marais, and West Saint-Germain tours.

THE LEFT BANK NEIGHBORHOOD
Our fantastic Left Bank food tour moves between both the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain neighborhoods along the beautiful, tree-lined Boulevard Saint-Germain. The Latin Quarter is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Paris and the city’s intellectual center. It also has the city’s best cheese shop, among other delights. Saint-Germain is filled with historic cafés, independent bookstores, art and antique galleries, fashion boutiques, and exceptional food shops. Some of the best chocolate and pastry shops in Paris (and therefore the world?) can be found in Saint-Germain.

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 Luxembourg Gardens.
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. This tour does not include any meat. If you’re craving charcuterie, we recommend our North Marais, South Marais, and West Saint-Germain tours.
