Paris Cheese and Wine Cultural Tasting Walking Tour

About this tour

Walk through Paris's Marais district sampling France's most respected cheeses and wines across two hours. You'll start at Saint-Paul Church, move through a MOF-certified cheesemonger's selection, settle into Place des Vosges for a spread of local cheeses and pastries, then finish at a neighbourhood wine bar where each pour pairs with what you've tasted. This isn't a lecture—it's a circuit designed around flavour and geography, threading together how Parisians actually eat.

Highlights

• MOF cheesemonger's curated selection, talked through by someone who knows their craft
• Cheese picnic at Place des Vosges with pastries from a local bakery
• Wine pairings at a traditional Marais wine bar, all included
• Saint-Paul Church as your starting point in historic Marais
• Two-hour route on foot through some of Paris's best food streets

What to expect

Expect to walk at an easy pace, stopping often. You'll spend time in a proper fromagerie—the kind where the cheesemonger can tell you about milk sources and ageing—then move to the square for your picnic spread. Bring an appetite; the tasting covers more ground than a single meal but less intensity than a formal dinner. The wine bar finale lets you sit down and catch your breath while the pairings make sense of what came before. Bring comfortable shoes and be ready to navigate cobblestones.

Good to know

All cheese, pastries and wine are covered in the price. The route is accessible for strollers, though cobblestones in the Marais can be uneven. Public transport is within walking distance if you need it. Not suitable if you're pregnant. Suitable for all fitness levels provided you're comfortable on your feet for two hours.
