# Paris Sweet & Chocolate Family Treasure Hunt

**Guidekin's take:** Children solve clues to find sweet shops in Saint-Germain-des-Prés on a private tour for your party. A child-friendly chocolate expert and at least seven tastings are included; expect moderate walking, with transport excluded. 5 from 40 reviews at €480 per group/vehicle for 2h.

In our comparison: #39 of 88 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Want to please the whole family? How about a sweet and chocolate treasure hunt in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a neighborhood housing the best chocolate makers and pastry brands in Paris. This playful and gourmet tour includes 7 tastings. Throughout the tour, your children will participate in a treasure hunt to discover the next store where you will taste some of the best French delicacies: macarons, caramel and different types of chocolate!

To begin, you will enter the oldest chocolate factory in Paris. Further on, macarons are the order of the day. The next discovery concerns a French specialty that you can make all the delights of, be it candy, jam or cream: salted butter caramel. You will certainly enjoy some of these caramel recipes before turning back to pastries to bite into a delicious cream puff. The visit will end in summer with one of the best ice-creams in Paris, and in winter with an invigorating hot chocolate.
