Montmartre Like a Local: Paris Food Tour

Spend a morning exploring Montmartre through its food.

You’ll begin your Montmartre food tour with a visit to a veritable French institution: the boulangerie! This one has been serving the locals of the area for generations. As you take in the smell of freshly baked goods, you’ll hear about the classic—modest yet delicious—French breakfast and try their delectable croissants and freshly baked bread.

A brief stroll through Montmartre's picturesque streets takes you a famous family-run pastry shop beloved by Parisians and visitors alike. With roots in Montmartre, it's become one of the most decorated patisseries in Paris. Here you'll try a selection of their signature chocolates and a pastry.

From there, it’s on to a charming bistro inspired by the typical taverns commonly found in historic Montmartre. You'll try a classic savory pancake from the Aveyron region of France, the home of this establishment's three passionate owners.

Take in the main sites and hidden gems on a walking tour with your local guide.

After that, you'll take to the leafy streets and steps of Montmartre on a 45-minute historical walk, where your guide will point out some of the most important aspects of the neighborhood, giving you a true sense of its history and significance to the French capital.

Your next stop is an introduction to an absolute staple of French cuisine: cheese. You'll sample a cheeseboard with a variety of seasonal cheeses and the favorites of this specialty shop. You'll pair it with two glasses of natural wine served at a local wine cellar close by.

We hope you’ve saved room for the main course! Step inside a timeless French bistro and tuck in to a hearty lunch of savory, warm quiche—a perfect end to a day of discovery.
