# Eating Paris Saint Germain Food and Wine Tasting Tour

**Guidekin's take:** Explore Saint-Germain des-Prés through seven food stops, with tastings that may include cheese, chocolate, apple tart and caviar. An English-only guide, enough food for a meal and three drink tastings are included; stops vary and severe food allergies cannot be accommodated. 4.88 from 230 reviews at €133 per person for 3h.

In our comparison: #44 of 88 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Journey through centuries of French gastronomy in Paris’ most fashionable neighborhood. Explore the iconic Saint-Germain des-Prés area while you snack on French cheese eaten by the French President, a baguette tradition (we’ll explain) and modern farm-to-table French cooking from one of the city’s best Néo-bistros.

Throughout this chic tour of les beaux quartiers, you will be transported through time as the history of the city of love is told through world-class food: from the finest caviar and salmon to (literally) revolutionary bread.

All throughout, you will hear stories of thinkers like Hemingway and Picasso all the way through to the boundary-pushing Chefs of today. Paris’ Left Bank has seen it all, and this tour is the best way to get to know its past and present.
