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!

The patisserie tour ended up being one of my favorite outings while we were in Paris. It wasn’t so much about the sweets, but I loved learning about some of the treasures Paris has to offer from a local who clearly loves its history and culture.

Great fun with an interesting and knowledgable guide. We visited 7 unique establishments that we would have never found on our own. Kids had a blast.

We enjoyed the food and the history information about the area. Alexandria was great, very upbeat, and she made an effort to get to know a little bit about each one of us and relate something to us personally. She also was helpful in offering tips for us for our next day trip to Versailles.
