This 2.5-hour walking food tour in Paris traces the origins and evolution of the French breakfast through tastings and visits to key neighborhoods and shops. The route passes through historic Palais Royal and Rue Montorgueil, areas known for their culinary traditions. The tour starts at a modern café near Palais Royal, where guests enjoy a Viennese coffee or hot chocolate with whipped cream alongside a homemade waffle. The group then walks through a public park featuring elegant arcades and the Courtyard of Honor with Buren’s striped columns and fountains with polished metal spheres. Visitors stop at La Manufacture de Chocolat, a bean-to-bar chocolatier using vintage machines, to taste a chocolate praline cookie. The tour continues to an 1823 arcade housing boutiques, tea rooms, delicatessens, and antique bookshops. At a classic bakery, guests sample quiche lorraine. A tea tasting follows at Dammann Frères, France’s oldest tea company, known for passing down tea expertise through generations. Next, participants taste a chocolate cream-filled croissant at L’Éclair de Génie, created by pastry chef Christophe Adam. The tour includes croissants from an organic-focused bakery representing new pastry craftsmanship, and from another bakery noted for buttery croissants and seasonal pastries, where a croissant and traditional baguette are enjoyed. Guests visit a cheese shop working with producers who support Slow Food and organic methods, tasting salted butter, three cheeses, fruit jelly, and bread from Terroirs d’Avenir. The final stop is Manufacture Plaq, a bean-to-bar chocolate shop using Belize cocoa beans, where visitors have hot chocolate served with two croissants. Included are a local English-speaking guide, tastings of award-winning croissants, French cheese, coffee, tea, chocolate, and insider tips on food and the city. Gratuities, hotel transfers, and extra drinks are not included.
