This was amazing; our guide was perfect. We went to many chocolate shops and bakeries and learned so much. Many, many samples. Almost had too much chocolate… but not really ! I would recommend it; well worth the money."

Want to focus on chocolate? Take your sweet tooth on the trail to some of the city's best chocolate shops — all found on the trendy Right Bank, in the historic First Arrondissement. As you savor the mouthwatering confections, your local guide will point out landmarks like the Louvre and Place de la Concorde, and tell you a bit about the history of Paris, including the delicious history of French chocolate.
The group is small and the pace is leisurely as you visit five of the most exclusive chocolate boutiques. Did we mention the free chocolate tastings at each chocolatier?
Loved the tour and our guide was great. We even found a chocolatier that we visit every time we are back in Paris, thanks to that tour. Wonderful chocolate with a good variety of places. Highly recommend !"

Discover the Food & Wine of the Marais |
Cheese & Wine Tasting in a Paris Cellar |
Stroll with your guide through one of the most famous parts of the city, Saint-Germaine-des-Prés. It's hard to imagine that in the early days of the city these were open fields, with the church sitting in the middle.
Along the way you'll stop at some of the top Parisian chocolatiers to learn how they make their delicious concoctions and to sample some of their chocolates, pastries & macarons. While you're in the quartier, take a few minutes to stop in the park honoring the great Ukrainian poet, Taras Shevchenko, right on the Boulevard Saint-Germain.
"Paris" and "chocolate" sort of go together, don't they? It's such a tradition in the City of Food where the prestigious chocolatiers roll out new offerings every season, just like the fashion houses. But, here are a few favourite chocolate blends that remain constant favorites.
