Good To Know

  • Rain or shine, the tour will be maintained. If the weather conditions (rain, cold weather) don't allow a proper picnic, we will get snack from the market (like a savory crepe, or else) that we can eat while strolling the alleys. A drink will be offered inside a local café. The experience of meeting new people will remain the same, fun and informative in an exciting environment.
  • Note that: From December to March (and if weather doesn't permit a picnic some day the rest of year) , our planned Picnic is replaced by sharing a bite on site at the market (a savory crepe or any homemade snack) + a drink offered at a local café.
  • The choice of the market is the guide's decision based on the day of the booking. Whichever day your tour will occur, you will fully grab the essence of this major French cultural activity.
  • Meeting point will be received upon booking (and how to easily get to our meeting point).
  • You shall wear comfortable shoes and dress accordingly for your day ahead.
  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
