Small Group Tour - Paris Sweet Tooth Stroll
Description
You will visit small artisanal shops that the locals know and love for tastings of their specialty items, including seasonal specialties. Step back in time and sample a delicious pain au chocolate from a viennoiserie shop, founded in 1928 and hasn't changed since. Visit the boutique of the inventor of salted butter caramel and sample some of his melt-in-your-mouth creations, stop in at a fine food shop for candies and sweet spreads from Provence and finish with a delectable chocolate from one of the most famous chocolate-making families in France. Your sweet tooth will be more than satiated after tasting caramels from the originator of salted butter caramels, to homemade viennoiseries, chocolate, and candies from Provence.

What a fantastic tour! I've been to Paris before, but I'd never taken a food or dessert tour there before. It was a truly meaningful experience. It was all new to me, trying different flavors, visiting special locations, and learning the stories behind these incredible French desserts. I made me feel a cultural connection and created a wonderful memory for my palate. It was amazing and I highly recommend it!
A beautiful stroll through Saint-Germain which was more peaceful than the busy city. We tried a variety of sweets, most of which I would never consider trying. My favorite was the merveilleux and the lavender honey. Overall, I left satisfied and perfectly full! I'd recommend taking a tour early in your trip to learn the best boulangeries and how to order.
Bonjour! It warms our hearts to know you not only savoured the delightful tastings but also deeply connected with the authentic, local neighbourhood spirit, truly a lovely escape from the usual tourist paths. Creating those genuine Parisian moments is what we love to do. We hope to share another unforgettable journey with you on a future Flavors of Paris tour! Sincerely, Lisa
We enjoyed our time with Lisa as she was very knowledgeable about the sweets and yummy treats we sampled along the way ! Thank you for a fun intro to Paris and the delicious delights!
We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your time exploring Saint Germain and tasting some delicious pastries, chocolates and other surprises. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We hope to see you again on one of our other tours in the future. Sincerely, Lisa
The Sweet Tooth Tour with Lisa is a must for dessert lovers in Paris! Lisa’s passion for French pastries and deep knowledge of culinary history make this tour unforgettable. From exquisite macarons to artisan chocolates, each stop showcases the best of Parisian treats. Lisa’s warmth, insider tips, and perfect pacing add to the experience. Highly recommend for a sweet and cultural journey through Paris!
Bonjour Annaleise: What a great review! You really covered all the bases. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. We hope to see you in Paris again soon for another one of our Flavors of Paris tours. Sincerely, Lisa
This is by far the most authentic tour I have taken in Paris. Lisa has befriended all of the vendors, which makes the experience feel super special and familiar. The sweets were out of this world, and we began the tour with warm croissants and cappuccinos. After walking through the side streets of Saint Germain des Pres, a charming area, we ended with some of the best caramel I have ever had. I would love to try her savory tour. Lisa is a pure delight.
Bonjour Jennifer: We are glad to hear that your experience was not only satisfyingly delicious for also a satisfying overall experience. Thank you for your review and we hope to see you soon for one of our sweet AND savoury tours.
Lisa was on time, friendly and did a really nice tour. Went to great dessert places with delicious treats. She gave good info on each place ands each thing we ate. She asked us in advance if we minded that she brought her little dog with her, assuring us it was fine if we didn’t want her to. Our granddaughters loved that she did. Would recommend this tour.
Bonjour Phillip. Although it was back in January, we are still happy that you have shared your experience. My little dog LOVED your granddaughters. I am so happy you all had a great time.
We were very disappointed in this tour. Our guide Dominic was fine - very personable - but the tour itself was very disappointing. We basically had a croissant , a macaroon and tasted some jelly. One of the locations we were to visit was closed but no effort was made to replace it with another location. There wasn't much discussion about pastries or their importance in french culture. We were looking forward to this and it was our least favorite tour. I think this is a missed opportunity for your company. It could be a really great tour but you need to put some effort into planning it.
Bonjour Robin It's been a while and we somehow missed this review. We're sorry to hear that you didn't get a lot out of your experience. We certainly appreciate your feedback because we want every client to have an unforgettable experience. You will see in our subsequent reviews that your concerns are no longer an issue. Thank you again for sharing. Sincerely, Lisa
One of our favorite Paris activities! We ended up booking last minute, but it turned out to be one of the best things we did. We got to try a variety of sweets (and not-so-sweets). Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend!
We enjoyed this tour very much! It was dazzling sweet! We actually tried some sweets that were new to us. Lisa was very knowledgeable and delightful. We would take this tour again!
Bonjour! We are so glad you got to try some new desserts, that is always our goal!
Various tastings of sweet and savory treats! Visiting a number of patisseries and gourmet food stores, exploring and learning about the Latin Quarter. Our guide Lisa was knowledgable and very engaging. We enjoyed this tour!
