What to expect
Expect to walk steadily for over three hours, moving between 5–7 neighbourhood shops where your guide knows the owners. At each stop, you'll taste a small sample or two—a wedge of Comté here, a slice of pâté there—whilst hearing the backstory of the product and the quarter itself. The route winds through Montmartre's quieter passages and village-like squares. Towards the end, you'll settle at a hidden courtyard or café room to enjoy an assembled picnic-style meal with wine, eating without rush or other tourists hovering.
Good to know
Wear supportive walking shoes; the tour covers considerable ground on uneven pavements. Dietary requirements must be flagged well ahead—some restrictions cannot be accommodated due to the sourcing model. Public transport is nearby if you need to arrive or leave separately. Not suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns. Infants sit on a guardian's lap.
