I did this activity with a group of close friends and we had such a memorable time ! Agatha was a lovely guide who knew a lot about the town of Fontainebleau and about French cuisine. We were taken from Paris to the Fontainebleau food market and then to this cute country house where a full French course meal was prepared for us paired with delicious wines. All meals were explained by our tour guide and the pairings as well ! We then ended the tour with carriage ride in the gardens of the Fontainebleau castle. Honestly it was one of our favorite experiences with my friends !

If you’re fans of gourmet food, amazing French wines and castles this is for you ! We did this with my husband and a group of friends and honestly it was one of the highlights of our trip ! The tour began in Paris where we were greeted by our local guide : Agatha who speaks perfect English and our driver who took us directly to the most charming food market of Fontainebleau. After meeting with local producers we took a few things to eat from the market and were taken to a gorgeous French country house pavilion along the Seine. We then had a 6 course meal paired with amazing French wines. Throughout the meal Agatha explained the origin of each French dish and why they paired beautifully with the wines served. After our lovely meal we were taken to the castle of Fontainebleau and took a carriage ride to visit the gardens by our local guide ! So happy we managed to find this tour ! Highly recommend !
