What to expect
You'll move between two functioning markets where Parisians actually shop. Your guide—someone who's lived here for years—introduces vendors and their stories, not recited facts. You'll taste as you walk: proper aged cheese, saucisson, duck preparations, fresh macarons, rum cake, meringue cake, honey lollipops. Two wine tastings are woven in for those 18+; younger visitors get alternative drinks. The pace is leisurely; expect to linger at stalls and chat with traders. Two hours is enough to graze, chat, and absorb the rhythm without feeling rushed.
Good to know
