Discover the sweet flavors of Paris on a guided tasting tour. Try a variety of local pastries and desserts and discover the world of French Patisserie in its capital, in Montmartre district, a place that looks like a postcard! All the food and drinks are included as here described and some tastings may change according to the availability of our partners and to the season.
Croissant, pain au chocolat, or pain aux raisins! These golden delights are a must-taste during your trip to Paris. Buttery, flaky, and melt-in-the-mouth, they pair perfectly with a morning coffee or an afternoon treat. Enjoy your breakfast after a stroll from the Moulin Rouge - the iconic cabaret that doesn't need any introduction - to Rue Lepic, to start your journey to discover Montmartre!
Once reserved for royal courts, chocolate now wins the hearts of all. In an historical chocolaterie, one of the most ancient in town, founded in 1761, you will have a tasting that reveals all the aromatic richness of this ingredient and the finesse of master chocolatiers. An unmissable experience!
Place des Abbesses is one of the most famous in Montmartre, named after the abbesses who ran the Royal Abbey of Montmartre from the 12th century until 1790. Nowadays it's one of the places that fully embodies Parisian charm. Here, in a local patisserie, you will try the famous éclairs! Eclairs are a timeless highlight of every pastry display and one of the most famous examples of French pastry making. Filled with flavoured smooth cream and topped with a glossy glaze, éclairs delight both with elegance and indulgence. Its name means “lightning” in French, supposedly because people eat them so fast they vanish in a flash!
Madeleines areevery sweet tooth: delicately buttery, soft and golden biscuits, lightly sweet or infused with hints of lemon, vanilla. These delicacies became an icon also in literature, thanks to the writer Marcel Proust and you will enjoy them warm from the oven, in an adorable boutique near the famous Mur des Je t'aime, where you can read the phrase "I Love you" in more than 250 languages!
Place du Tertre is one of the symbols of Montmartre, full of brasseries and street artists that paint or sing en plein air! Here you will have a taste of the iconic Macarons! These colorful little gems feature an almond shell filled by a flavored ganache. They have become a true symbol of French elegance in sweets. Legend has it that Catherine de’ Medici brought them to France in the 16th century proving once and for all that a sweet tooth can change the course of history.
Deliciously sweet, soft and warm, simply sweetened or filled with chocolate or jam, crêpes really suit all taste. Enjoy your crêpe with a breathtaking view of the Sacré-Coeur.

Paulette was great. We had a nice visit of Montmartre while discovering french delicacies at the same time. We'll definitely come back in the future.
Great experience, Ester was a lovely, knowledgeable guide.
We had a wonderful morning with our guide Arina. There was a good mix of tastings/ history of the area and rest breaks on what was a very hot day. Arina was very knowledgeable and the 3 hour tour flew by. Our favourite stop was for Macarons!
Marie Pierre was wonderful! The tour felt like exploring a French village with a family friend. She made the day delicious! The highlight of our time in Paris!
Lovely Macaroon and Chocolates - Energetic Marie.
We had a wonderful tour with Paulette, she was very knowledgeable and patient. She made our tour experience memorable. We will definitely book Paulette again with this tour company on our next trip to Paris.
Great tour. We did it with kids 8 and 11 who loved all the stops for treats! Marie was a friendly, knowledgeable and helpful guide and also made sure we kept out of the sun as it was a hot day and gave us options to walk various ways depending on what we wanted to see. Lots of food but you can have some to take away and eat later if you wish!
