ABOUT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
The southern 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.
ABOUT THIS TOUR
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 a few 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.
This tour does not include any meat. If you’re craving charcuterie, we recommend our North Marais and West Saint-Germain tours.

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 Saint-Paul Métro stop.
CANCELLATIONS POLICY
A 100% refund is available for those who cancel with at least 48 hours advance notice. No refunds will be given for clients who cancel with less than 48 hours notice, or arrive more than 20 minutes late without calling, or don’t show up at all (no-shows). 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).

Hi Edith, thanks for joining us in the past for the North Marais tour! The South Marais tour visits completely different shops, and has more pastry (instead of charcuterie) by comparison to the North Marais tour. Hope to see you again soon!
Hello, I have already done the North Marais Tour. How much overlap is there between the North and South Marais tours? Thx, Edith
