Every pastry and one drink are included and the tastings add up to breakfast and lunch, but it is a long walk between the shops. 4.77 from 164 reviews at €60 per person for 3h. ## Overview French boulangeries are world famous and something very unique. It may be the only place in the western world where you can walk into an eatery with 4-6€ and walk out with a meal and a dessert of world class quality. Join me as we eat our way across Bordeaux's best boulangeries (bakeries), all of which are recipients of French culinary awards. Each bakery is in a different, vibrant neighbourhood of Bordeaux and along the way, I'll share with you its history and my own personal experiences of the neighbourhood. Come hungry and discover why more than 6000 people have said that this is the most fun and original way to explore Bordeaux! P.s Didn't think the tour was worth your time or money?
