Description
We're two Parisians who fell in love with sharing the food we grew up eating! One of us has spent years guiding food tours across Paris; the other is coming back from Lyon, France's gastronomic capital. Together, we've created one of the first food tours right by the Eiffel Tower. It's more than a tasting. It's a complete French meal. Come hungry and taste your way through France, from artisan cheeses and charcuterie to fresh bread, pastries, chocolate, and wine. Just behind the Eiffel Tower, we'll take you to Rue Cler, a charming traditional Parisian neighborhood still full of local food artisans. While millions of visitors pass nearby, most never discover this authentic side of Paris.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Start the tour with a classic French treat: a delicious macaron and a glass of Crémant, a French sparkling wine. Get your first introduction to the Eiffel Tower and discover some of the stories and secrets behind Paris's most famous landmark.
Walk past the impressive Hôtel des Invalides, home to Napoleon's tomb, and discover its important place in French history.
Time for a true French classic: Escargots de Bourgogne. Taste these famous Burgundy snails and discover how this traditional dish became part of French cuisine.
Walk through Rue Cler, a charming traditional Parisian street filled with local food shops and small artisans.
Stop at a local cheese shop and discover some of France's incredible variety of cheeses. Of course, you'll get to taste them too!
Discover a traditional French butcher and taste some quality French charcuterie. Your guide will also explain why the local butcher is such an important part of French food culture.
No French food tour would be complete without a stop at a real French bakery. Taste fresh bread and discover what makes a traditional French baguette so special.
Take a seat, relax, and enjoy a glass of carefully selected French wine with some of the food we've discovered along the way.
Finish the food journey on a sweet note with a delicious French pastry from a local pâtisserie.
End the tour with one of the best views of the Eiffel Tower. A perfect place for photos, a final dessert, and maybe a few marriage proposals!

Great tour amazing guide!...
Great tour amazing guide! Quentin was very professional and knowledgeable. I recommended this tour to everyone who wants to know about additional about the history and culture of Lyon
J
Outstanding Walking Tour
Quentin is a superb walking tour guide! I did a walking tour in Lyon in December 2025 and very much enjoyed it. Quentin mixed humor and history perfectly, providing fascinating knowledge/ advice but keeping it high energy and moving so that he was never lecturing us for long periods of time, instead showing us around and keeping everyone engaged. He has a great personality for a guide, super friendly, witty, and honest. He is also very helpful, giving everyone links and print outs for all to enjoy Lyon. You will get more out of Lyon if you join his tour - highly recommended!

Great walking tour
Quentin was a fabulous host and we enjoyed his walking tour around Lyon learning about the city and the history. Quentin was friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour. Our teenage children also enjoyed it and loved the traboules.

Thank you Quentin!
My friend & I took part in Quentins walking tour this Saturday just gone & I am so happy we did it as it was such an excellent tour which made our trip! I am often someone who will get bored part way through these kinds of things especially so, if I do not have much knowledge or prior interest about it beforehand, which was definitely the case as I knew next to nothing regarding the city of Lyon, it geography, history or people aside from the Xmas Market & wanting to eat the city's delicious food. With Quentins tour, I was fully engrossed from the get go, I soon discovered Lyon is an very beautiful city with stunning architecture & a very rich, extremely interesting background. Quentin managed to explain & showcase this to us, all in a knowledgeable engaging, charismatic, friendly, humorous & sometimes even emotional way. From the very start he brought the group together with his genuine enthusiasm & lovely sense of humour, we all had numerous jokes & laughs around the tour which made you all feel in it together, but also you could truly see the passion, earnest & conviction he has for his lovely city, its people & its history! After the tour Quentin even took his time to stick about to help everyone with various questions & even gave us some restaurant recommendations. Thank you Quentin for navigating us via its secret passageways through beautiful Lyon & educating us on its wonderful peoples history in ways we did not know existed. I would do the tour again & recommend to anyone visiting Lyon in a heartbeat. Thanks again Quentin.

Fabulous
One of the best walking tours I’ve done. Quentin was a fabulous guide, informative and enthusiastic. The highlight of our stay and the base for more adventures around Lyon.
C
Positive
Quentin, the guide, very nice and good. We made the visit in English, a suggestion for the future, and'to learn Italian as well, as Italian tourists are always many here in Lyon
C
Interesting resistance history
This is a fun experience for adults and teens. I believe the revolutionary ideas won’t resonate with kids. There is plenty of evidence and history about the resistance and workers protests. I was hoping for more information about Lyon and it’s history though, not only a lesson on the workers resistance movement.

The Best Way to Start Your Visit!
A fantastic introduction to Lyon! Quentin is a great guide. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and as promised, a local. He shares all the hidden treasures along with the must-see known places. Better still, he has hand-outs at the end so that you have the take-aways without having to test your memory or take notes. Highly recommend taking the tour.
