What to expect
You'll walk at a leisurely pace between five carefully chosen patisseries and sweet-makers, stopping to taste as you go. Your guide shares the backstory of each sweet—when it was created, why, and which family or producer made it famous—without being a lecture. You're tasting genuine local creations, not tourist versions. Expect to eat enough sugar to give you a proper sense of Nancy's pastry culture; bring water.
