Paris food tours in Saint-Germain-des-Prés sell the Left Bank at two speeds: two hours or three, six tastings or nine, with cheese added only on the longer walk. It is the one quarter where you set the size of the afternoon, and the only one with scheduled Spanish and French departures.
A full meal with wine across three and a half Left Bank hours, through the Marche Saint-Germain and the Cour du Commerce Saint-Andre. Two guests minimum, twelve maximum, vegetarian options available. Meet by the BNP Paribas at Saint-Germain-des-Pres.
From $117 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Pick the savoury walk — foie gras, five cheeses, four cured meats, sparkling wine — or the chocolate and pastry one, which trades all of that for choux, shortbread and fine chocolate. Both end on a secret dish. Two different meeting points, so check yours.
From $86 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Six tastings in two hours, or nine in three with cheese added — the only listing here where the length changes the menu. Drinks included, and you leave with a printed address book. Spanish and French departures are scheduled alongside English.
From $110 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Every one of these refunds in full up to 24 hours ahead, so an early booking costs you nothing but a decision.
Check AvailabilityTwo to three and a half hours on the Left Bank in the 6th, through the Rue du Dragon, the Marché Saint-Germain, the Rue de Furstemberg and the Cour du Commerce Saint-André. Flat, compact, and quieter than the Right Bank quarters.
The thing that separates it is choice. Every listing here sells you two different lengths at the same address, and one sells two entirely different menus — a savoury walk with foie gras and five cheeses, or a chocolate and pastry walk with none of it.
Two hours or three, six tastings or nine. Nowhere else here lets you set the size of the afternoon.
The Marché Saint-Germain is open until eight on weekdays and most visitors never find it.
Scheduled as their own booking options rather than offered on the day, which matters for a mixed party.
If you are staying south of the river, this is the walk you can reach on foot.
Fifteen minutes apart along the boulevard, and genuinely different afternoons. Both are on the Left Bank, and the Latin Quarter is the older and the more touristed of the two.
| Saint-Germain | The Latin Quarter | |
|---|---|---|
| What you eat | Foie gras, cheese, charcuterie, pastry | Galette, quiche, pâté en croûte |
| In the glass | Still and sparkling wine | Wine, and apple cider on one |
| Length | Two hours or three, your choice | Three and a half, fixed |
| Sightseeing | Streets and a market hall | The Panthéon, the Sorbonne, Notre-Dame |
| Best for | Choosing your own pace | A first trip that wants both at once |
You get: a guide, six to ten tastings depending on the length you choose, wine, and on one of them a printed address book of the shops you visited.
You do not get: hotel pickup, tips, personal purchases, or anything outside the itinerary. One listing states plainly that wheelchair users cannot join.
Fares run from $86 to $117, the narrowest band of any quarter here. Book three to five days ahead in season, and decide your length before you open the booking page, because that is the choice that changes the fare.
Sundays are worth a thought: one reviewer found most of the chocolate shops closed on a Sunday walk, which is worth knowing before you pick the day.
If you use a wheelchair. One listing here rules it out explicitly and none is sold as step-free; the Le Marais food tours are the accessible option.
If you want volume. This is the most refined quarter on the site rather than the most generous. A Montmartre food tour feeds you more.
If it is a Sunday and chocolate is the point. Pick another day, or another quarter.
If you have a whole day free. Take it out of the city on a wine day trip instead.
