On our Secret Food Tour: Notre Dame – ‘Heart of Paris,’ we will take you on a gustative journey through the birthplace of the capital. You'll enjoy a variety of classic French foods, such as freshly baked viennoiseries, some of the best cheeses you have ever tasted, delicious regional savoury tarts or pies, desserts, and of course our Secret Dish.
Our tour starts in le Marais by the station Pont Marie. During the tour, we will walk through the medieval streets past many famous landmarks of the neighbourhood, such as the Philippe August defence wall, Notre-Dame, Shakespeare & Co, the Pantheon and more! You will realise how the locals live in this part of Paris and how the city's history has influenced its gastronomy.
After meeting your guide, you will first get to know more about the Marais and its history as you will enjoy your freshly baked welcome bite.
Then you will cross the Seine and reach the first of the two islands, l'Ile St Louis, cradle of the city of Lutecia (Paris in Roman times), grabbing a macaron on the go, just because it's Paris and we can.
Crossing again, you will reach Ile de la Cité, where Notre-Dame Cathedral stands!
Using le Petit Pont, the smallest of the 37 bridges on the Seine River, you will reach the left bank and the Latin Quarter where the cheesemonger and the bakery await us.
After collecting more food we will reach the Secret Place for a well deserved rest filled with flavours, stories about French culture and of course.... wines.
All along the tour, your guide will teach you some great knowledge about both the history and the gastronomy to enhance the whole experience.
As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish.
The journey ends on top of the hill, where a lot of new adventures await you, legend has it that there is even the road to Rome there.
