Experience Details

On this tour, you'll enjoy a variety of pastries and viennoiseries at six spots, including the oldest pastry shop in France. From classics like Paris-Brest and Saint-Honoré to hidden gems of the new Parisian pastry scene, everything is crafted by top chefs.


As you explore, you’ll visit the Hôtel de Sully, a 17th-century residence with a secret garden leading to Place des Vosges. You’ll also see the Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis, Nicolas Flamel’s house, the Jewish Quarter, and Rue Montorgueil, home to artworks by Paul Baudry, painter of the Opéra Garnier.


Our expert guides will share stories behind each sweet creation, reveal insights into French terroirs, and show how Le Marais became the heart of Paris’s pastry scene!
