ABOUT THIS 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.
ABOUT THE LEFT BANK FOOD TOUR
This tour varies by day and what’s open, but nearly everything we taste on this tour has won a “best of” prize of some sort. We’ll usually begin our tour with a flaky and buttery croissant that was voted the best in Paris. We’ll visit a cheese shop run by a fromager who has earned the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) title – the highest rank for an artisan in France – and later taste our cheeses with paired wines. We’ll also taste chocolate and pastries from prize-winning 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. This tour doesn’t feature charcuterie, so it’s a good option for vegetarians (omnivores aren’t going to miss the meat).
* 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.

PRICE & PRACTICAL DETAILS
Our very popular small group tours are limited to 8 guests. Tickets are priced at 130€ 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.
CANCELLATIONS POLICY
Refunds are available for those who cancel with at least 48 hours notice minus a €20 cancellation fee per ticket. No refunds or changes are allowed within 48 hours of your tour. Clients who arrive more than ten minutes late without calling or not at all (no-shows) will be treated as cancellations with no refund. Our tours run rain or shine.
Clients who are booking tours within 24 hours of their arrival in Paris should be aware that we do not offer refunds in the case of delayed flights (because this is such a common occurrence).
