About this tour
A three-hour guided evening through Le Marais with four carefully chosen stops, savouring nine-plus tastings of French cuisine and wine. Your local guide reveals neighbourhood spots that bypass the usual tourist trail, moving through charcuterie and cheese boards, a classic starter like escargots or French onion soup, then settling into a proper bistro for beef bourguignon or saucisse aligot. Three wine pairings accompany the journey, finishing with profiteroles and macarons. Groups capped at six people.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and move through Le Marais at a leisurely pace, stopping to eat and drink rather than lecture-walk. The first stop covers cured meats and cheese boards standing up or perched on high stools. A second venue serves your chosen starter—either escargots or a warming French onion soup. The third stop is the main event: a proper sit-down bistro meal with wine pairing and time to linger. The final stop wraps things with profiteroles and macarons alongside a digestif or final pour. Your guide talks you through what you're tasting and how French diners actually approach a meal, without pretension.
