Left Bank Treasures

What sets us apart?

This experience is a bit more expensive than the average "food tour" in Paris, and there are several reasons for that.

• Real Quality by True Artisans: 
  • We pay the (well worth it) premium to ensure everything you taste is absolutely first rate. From the wine, cheese, and charcuterie, to the chocolates, pastries, and macarons, not a single bite comes from industrial processes. Everything is handmade by dedicated artisans, from the best ingredients.
• Tiny Groups: 
  • Limiting the groups to 6 people means you'll be able to connect deeper with the products, the locations, and with each other! Each group that comes together ends up bonding over our shared passions.
• Private Access: 
  • At the conclusion of our tour, I will personally invite you to gather around the table aboard a historic, two-masted péniche/riverboat, recognized by France as a vessel of cultural importance. The views and the ambiance are truly magical, and something you won't otherwise experience.
• A Lasting Memory:
  • We hope that all the connections and discoveries you make along the way will result in lasting memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Experience Overview:

Our tour begins with a fresh croissant, awarded the best in Paris, on the breathtaking Montagne Saint-Geneviève, just steps away from the Pantheon. We then stroll from the beautiful Latin Quarter to the historic Saint-Germain des Près, visiting 5 more artisans and vendors along the way, three of whom hold the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF: best artisan in France). You’ll step into the shoes of a discerning local foodie, shopping for a special dinner party.

Along the way, we will taste and learn about specialty charcuterie from an artisanal butcher, fine cheeses from across France, aged and sourced by a renowned fromager, premium chocolates from an eccentric, world-class chocolatier, and fresh macarons and delicious pastries from a passionate, lifelong pastry chef, along with rare champagne made by small, independent producers.

Our gourmet stroll culminates with private access to a two-masted, historic peniche/riverboat, where we will sip champagne and enjoy the many treasures we have collected along the way.

You don't have to worry about lunch; we will have plenty to eat. Just bring your curiosity, your palate, your appetite, and good walking shoes. We can't wait to welcome you!
