Explore Le Marais through a chocolate and pastry tasting tour with 5 chocolates, macaron, croissant, cream puff and a signature French pastry. The Marais is one of the most beautiful and well preserved areas in Paris and I've been doing tours there for ten years. I'm also an expert and the author of two best selling guides. You'll discover all kinds of fun facts about the Marais, the oldest houses in Paris, a hidden garden, the museum of tea., the most gorgeous royal square in Paris... the tastings will only take place in high end shops.
Snacks
about 5 chocolates plus one cream puff, one macaroon, one "merveilleux" (meringue with whipped cream and chocolate) and one croissant or viennoiserie
A must do chocolate and pastry tour !! We will meet in the heart of the world famous Marais and taste amazing chocolates in the oldest chocolatier of Paris, then we will taste the best cream puffs and the best macarons in Paris. Then we will go to three other outstanding shops for the best chocolates in Paris and a specialty to die for, meringue with whipped cream and chocolate. We will follow some nice and lively streets (the visit of perfume shops in an option). Finally we will reach the gorgeous Place des Vosges. There, we will taste the best croissant of Paris in an amazing shop created by two Italian brothers.

Great Chocolate Experience!

Irene was a wonderful host! She knows the best chocolate shops in Paris, and also very much about the history and architecture of the neighborhood. It was a great time, and I would certainly attend again!

Chocolate heaven! C’est manifique!

We had a wonderful chocolate tour in the Marais with Irene today! We learned about the history of chocolate as well as the nuances of how the chocolates are created. We tasted such unusual flavor combinations and bought gifts to bring home. Would definitely recommend this experience while in Paris!
