Paris
Taste of Saint Germain Food Tour
Eight to ten food stops through Saint-Germain-des-Prés, from the cheese counter to the chocolate window
Food & Wine, Local Culture
Why We Love it
You walk by the Saint-Germain-des-Pr és church and go inside two of the best-known cafés in Paris — the cafés are stops, not photo pauses.
The Experience
Three and a half hours on foot through Saint-Germain-des-Prés with a local guide and a group capped at twelve, working through eight to ten food stops on the Left Bank.
The route runs from the oldest abbey in Paris to the Luxembourg Garden, along 17th-century cobbled streets and their arcades, past the oldest restaurant in the city and the Saint-Sulpice church. You go into two of the best-known cafés in Paris and into the shops between them — cheese, cured meat, wine, pastries, and the chocolatier windows the quarter is known for: caramels, eclairs, cakes. A few of the stops your guide does not announce in advance.
My pick for anyone who would rather meet a neighborhood through its cheesemongers and pastry chefs than its monuments, and for a first full day in Paris.
