The 6 French Classics You’ll Taste on Our Paris Food Tour in Le Marais
Paris is a city that lives and breathes food — buttery, flaky, rich, and full of love. On our
Paris Food Tour in Le Marais, you’ll taste six dishes that define French gastronomy.
These aren’t just famous foods — they’re stories of tradition, craftsmanship, and daily life in Paris.
Join our local guide Felix for a 3-hour walk through Le Marais, one of the most charming and historic districts of the city, and discover why Parisians believe food is a form of art.
1. Galette with Cheese and Ham (or Cheese and Mushrooms)
Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, this savory buckwheat crêpe is a Parisian staple. Filled with melted cheese and ham — or mushrooms for vegetarians — it’s the perfect mix of comfort and elegance.
2. Escargots – Snails in Garlic Butter
One of France’s most iconic dishes, escargots are tender snails baked in garlicky butter and herbs. Rich, flavorful, and surprisingly delicate, this is a must-try for adventurous eaters.
3. Planche de Fromage – French Cheese Board
France takes cheese seriously — and this tasting proves why. From creamy brie to nutty comté, your planche de fromage comes with baguette slices and local stories about each cheese’s origin.
4. Croissant
Simple, yet perfect. The Parisian croissant is golden, airy, and buttery — baked fresh every morning. The first bite alone is enough to make anyone fall in love with French breakfasts.
5. Pain au Chocolat
A flaky pastry filled with rich dark chocolate,
pain au chocolat is a classic French indulgence.
Locals grab one on their way to work, but you’ll enjoy it warm and freshly baked — the way it’s meant to be.
6. Macarons
No Paris food experience is complete without macarons — colorful, almond-based treats with delicate textures and subtle flavors. They’re the sweet ending to your Parisian tasting adventure.
Why These Dishes Matter
Each dish you’ll try connects you to a piece of French history — from the humble farmer’s cheese to the refined patisserie.
Le Marais is the perfect setting: artistic, traditional, and full of flavor.
Every stop on our tour tells a story — and every bite reminds you why Paris is the food capital of the world.
