Take a journey with us through the secluded and unknown historical sector of the Marais with tastings. Along the way, you will visit boutiques, bakeries, and café serving regional French specialties such as cheeses and sausages, wine and escargot (or another seasonal dish), and deluxe baked goods. This tour will take you through Parisian history and your taste buds on a journey of delights. The Marais district is located in central Paris and is close to many attractions including the Louvre and the Georges Pompidou Centre.
