Flavors of Paris Original Tour
Stroll through the neighborhood of Saint Germain and visit local shops, markets and restaurants sampling the finest in French fare, from the simplest crisp-crusted baguettes and velvety chocolates to exquisite olive oils, and other seasonal surprises. And not to mention memorable variations on the age-old theme of great wine and fabulous cheeses.
We’ll fascinate and delight you with what you’re tasting, as we share wonderful stories about the local cuisine and lively historical anecdotes about the quarter’s restaurants and cafés. (When you’re done, consider yourself a “Germanopratin”, or an honorary native of Saint-Germain.)
