Sampled many delicious food snacks and had an enjoyable walk through the streets of Belleville. I would have liked to have tasted some foods other than the usual ones you get-chaucuterie, cheeses & chocolates but all we sampled were fresh and tasty. Our Guide, Laur, was pleasant and showed several interesting sights, like the history of the water fountains that you can see throughout Paris. All in all we had a good walk up and down the hills of Belleville.
You've been curious and want to discover “another Paris” and this popular, artistic district of Belleville, congratulations! That's why we've chosen to introduce you to the basics of French food: bread, viennoiserie, charcuterie, coffee, cocktail, cheese, chocolates and pastries in typical bistros. More sophisticated gastronomy can be found on our other food tours.We are happy that you've enjoyed. Thank you again for having selected our food tour.
Laure was brilliant, showed us some nice and very authentic real Parisien spots and told us a lot about the history of the quarter and the food. So thanks a lot for this lovely half day! Recommendation: come hungry and don't plan lunch/dinner earlier than some hours later... you will have quite some food :)
Thank you so much for having chosen our Little company. Congratulations for being so curious for wishing discovering another Paris, out of the beaten tracks. We will definitely share this review with Laure . We are looking forward to seeing you again in Paris or Bordeaux.
An amazing experience! We loved our guide Fanny, she was wonderful. The food & places we went to on the tour were terrific. Highly recommend.
Wonderful and delicious! Learned a ton about the neighborhood and Paris, and discovered several hidden, delicious gems near my BnB. Loved the tour and guide!! Recommended!!
Thank you so much for having taken some time to write a review. Happy that you've enjoyed the tour that we've created for you.
Laura was an amazing tour guide! She took us to some of the best local spots, the views were amazing, and the conversation was lovely. Next time I’m in Paris, I’ll have to go to a different tour :)
Thank you so much. we can't wait meeting you again in another tour.
We all really enjoyed our tour with Fanny. She had a lot of interesting information about the area and was warm and friendly. We tried lots of cheese, wines, pastries and charcuturie boards. Can recommend this for an informative and enjoyable activity.
Thank you so much for this kind review. Fanny will appreciate a lot so we do.
A very interesting tour with a very knowledgeable guide who talked a little of the history of the area. I have been to Paris a few times and wanted to try something different. The guide not only showed me around some food shops I would not have known to try on my own, but also gave me a feel for the neighborhood. Lots of things to taste. Saw a lovely neighborhood park with a great view of Paris. It was pouring so we didn't have our snack in that park, but she gave me a snack to have later in the day. She pointed out a cafe where I could come back to hear live music. I strongly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for your so kind message. We have created this tour for sharing another Paris.
We had a great tour with Laura the guide. She told us alot about the location Belleville. The culture, the people and the mix of religieus&cultures in 2 districts amd the fact they come toghether. We had a great tasting and the succès where amazing. We walkes in the rain and had great conversations about the life of paris and saw alot of great stores. Good tasting also loved the trip. Thankyou Laura for the experience.
Thank you so much for this amazing review that I will share with Laura. Congrats for selecting Belleville, another Paris. We hope to see you again in Paris or Bordeaux
This "food tour" was a great opportunity to get to know a special part of Paris in a different way. The tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable about Belleville. She did have to improvise a little with two of the "food" offerings because the corresponding places were closed, but she made up for that wonderfully.
Danke schön !
Laura was the best !! She guided us around the charming neighborhood and we stopped in many food shops and chatted with locals and tasted small treats. Sitting down in the cafes and trying out pastries and cheeses was a delight. Thank you Laura ! We loved her and Belleville !
Thank you so much for this kind review. Laura will be so happy. Thank you for your Belleville choice, out of the track,
