Know Before You Book

Is this a walking tour of Paris?

Yes! This is a pastry lover's Paris chocolate walking tour through some of Paris’s most beautiful neighborhoods, including historic covered arcades. We cover about 2 km at a gentle pace with plenty of sweet stops (and chances to sit down).

What kinds of pastries will we try on this tour?

You’ll taste a curated mix of iconic French sweets—including croissants, macarons, pralines, ganache, salted caramel crêpes, and more. We visit both historic institutions and cutting-edge chocolatiers to give you the full Paris pastry experience.

Is this just… a lot of sugar?

We get this a lot! Yes, this is a dessert-forward tour—but it's carefully balanced, with breaks between tastings, sips of café crème and cider, and stories that give your palate (and your camera) time to rest. Most guests say it’s just the right amount of indulgence.

How many tastings are included?

At least 6 sweet stops, with multiple bites at most—including pastries, chocolates, drinks, and more. Many guests tell us it’s more than enough for breakfast and dessert.

What are the most popular pastries in Paris? Will we try them?

We focus on Paris’s most iconic sweets—croissants, macarons, and artisan chocolates—as well as lesser-known specialties you might miss on your own. The tour was even curated with input from a local pastry chef.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We can accommodate vegetarians and guests who prefer non-caffeinated drinks. Unfortunately, due to the nature of French pastries, this tour is not ideal for gluten- or dairy-free diets.

Will we be going inside the shops?

Yes! Every stop goes inside—no peeking through windows. We believe tasting is just part of the experience; meeting the people behind the food is what makes it unforgettable.

How big is the group?

We cap this tour at around 10 guests, so it stays intimate, interactive, and easy to navigate—even in the coziest shops.

Is this pastry tour kid-friendly?

Definitely! Families love this experience. While younger kids might not catch every historical detail, the sweets usually win them over pretty quickly.
