Secret Royal Passages Chic Paris Food Tour Pastries Cheeses
Description
SEMI-PRIVATE Taste what was once only the province of French Kings + Queens in their very own footsteps as we wrap ourselves in a rich tapestry of French culture. Come hungry -- We'll sample a generous array of croissants, pastries, chocolates, macarons, savory crepe, as well as a rare + carefully-selected cheese board at our favorite local cheesemonger (w/ a baguette comparison tasting!) And ice cream in the warm weather to stay cool as we explore Paris' historic and hidden covered passages...National monuments that have only recently been resurrected + re-imagined for new generations to cherish, after a century of neglect. What is the story behind French Cafe Culture? We will visit one of our friends -- a local roaster that is winning awards, to taste why Paris now has a coffee scene worthy of its pastries! Discover the contrasts, scandals, the glories of the Great Reconstruction of Paris — what they missed with the wrecking ball. ...And we don't skip dessert...
