Paris Rue Montorgueil Food Walking Tour
Discover the Paris of your dreams on this 2-hour walking tour of Rue Montorgueil. Follow your guide through the bustling pedestrian area and breathe in tantalizing aromas as you pass traditional bakeries, butchers’ shops, fishmongers and florists. Browse the stores alongside local Parisians and sample French baguettes and cheese. Admire the Tower of John the Fearless (Tour Jean sans Peur) and paintings by Rubens, and enjoy personal attention from your guide on this small-group tour, limited to 12 people.
Meet your guide in central Paris and set off toward Rue Montorgueil, a pedestrianized shopping street lined with quintessentially Parisian bakeries, butchers, cobblers, cafés, cheese- and fishmongers, florists and grocers.
Soak up the bustling atmosphere as you rub shoulders with the locals and sample baguettes from two different bakeries. Learn, too, the artistry behind the creation of a perfect French loaf.
Marvel at paintings by Rubens and sculptures by Coysevox, a 17th-century French artist; admire the 8,000 pipes of Paris' largest organ; gaze up at the Tower of John the Fearless; and indulge in a little window shopping along the way.
Head onward to a popular cheese shop, which has more than 300 types of cheese on display. Sample some of the produce and learn why so many of the cheeses are named after French villages.
Your tour then concludes by St-Eustache church (Église St-Eustache), across from Les Halles, one of Europe’s busiest shopping centers. Before bidding your guide farewell, perhaps ask for tips on where to shop in Les Halles, or head to a local café to watch the world go by.
Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.
