Itinerary
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.

We absolutely loved this tour! Our guide was Marie - what a hoot, and a fantastic lady! She took great care of us and made sure we took lots of breaks and were in the shade in the heatwave! We enjoyed every single stop and found it great value too as we didn’t need breakfast or lunch - come hungry! It’s also a great way to see Montmartre with a knowledgeable local guide, and you’re rewarded for all your walking with lots of sweet treats. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time and Kevan was a great tour guide. He’s super knowledgeable and so fun - what a great experience!
We (mom, 20yo, and 17yo) did the Montmarte pastry & chocolate tour on a Sunday morning and it was lovely. Local tour guide (Marie) was excellent. She’s lived in the area for 35 years and knows her sweets and streets. All of us enjoyed the information and the croissants, chocolate, Madelines, macaroons, eclairs, and crepes. Plenty of treats for the climb. All get spots. We even went back to visit a few on the descent.
What a joy this tour was! Monmartre is a whole vibe that’s just different from the rest of Paris, and our tour guide Marie was local specifically to this area! Her energy and kindness made this one of our best days in Paris! And the FOOD…we couldn’t even eat everything and had to take things to go! Marie was so knowledgeable and we learned (and ATE) so much!!!! I’ve already passed her info along to friends!
Great tour , highly recommend. Our famous guide Marie was kind, funny and knowledgeable. She really gave a great vibe to the tour. And the food was delicious. We only had 5 people in our group which was perfect because seeing other tours around of over 20 , ours was much more personalised. Thank you Marie !!
