Overview

Le Marais holds Paris's finest artisan patisseries hidden in its ancient streets. On this small-group walking tour, your expert local guide takes you inside six of them:

Aux Merveilleux de Fred — the ethereal meringue-and-cream signature

Maison Aleph — Levantine-French pastry unlike anywhere else in Paris

Pierre Hermé — the "Picasso of Pastry," tasting the macaron that redefined the category

Dunes Blanches — the cult chouquettes worshipped by Parisians

À la Mère de Famille — Paris's oldest confectionery, founded in 1761

La Charrette à Crêpes — a warm crêpe fresh off the pan to finish

Between tastings, your guide unpacks the story of Le Marais — the medieval Jewish quarter, the aristocratic mansions, the hidden courtyards.

Ninety minutes. Six stops. Small group of just eight. No wine, no marathon. Just the sweet, iconic, unforgettable side of Paris.
