The itinerary

Your flavor odyssey will involve exploring the small boutiques of the Rive Gauche, giving you an opportunity to sample 6 of the finest offerings in town. Your tour begins at a St Germain des Près boutique to bite into one of Brigitte Bardot’s favorite cream puff pies. Then it’s into a classic Paris bakery for silky-soft macarons (we highly recommend the pistachio!).

Following this you’ll sample chocolates and creamy caramels at a renowned chocolatier. Chocolate is a matter of national pride in these parts, and we’ve scoped out the most exclusive addresses just for you. You’ll discover all the secrets behind these decadent French delicacies and learn the secrets of how they’re made. Next, chocolates infused with various spices will be on the menu at a hidden emporium that’s very à la mode.

And last but not least you’ll visit a cream puff specialist to top off your devilishly delicious outing. If you’re like us and are salivating at the thought of all this indulgence, then all that’s left is to book your tour, loosen up that belt and dig in!

Juliette was a wonderful guide... she was sure to engage the entire group, answered all our questions, and had lots of historical knowledge! We really loved the sweet shops she took us too; we only wish we could have tried more at each shop. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour and wouldn't hesitate to book another Localers tour again!
