15 Cheese Tastings in France Worth Booking

Paris: Montmartre Cheese, Wine & Pastry Guided Walking Tour - Eight stops, from buttery pastries to French chocolate

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,255 reviews · 3 hours · from $127Our pick

Taste cheese, charcuterie, pastries, chocolate, and wine while walking from Moulin Rouge to Sacré Coeur with a local Montmartre guide.

“This was a fabulous tour with a fabulous tour guide, Julie, who lives in Montmartre and gave us a little history of the area in addition to the tastings. At each of our stops we got a taste of delectable, quintessentially French food and a real sense of why the French take such pride in their cuisine. Everything was incredibly fresh—quiche, a marvelous “merveilleux,” a macaron made that morning (usually a dry, thawed-out tasteless cookie from La Durée) that has spoiled us for life, pork rillettes with a tapenade on the side, and even more before sitting for a gorgeous selection of cheeses and charcuterie with baguettes to accompany it…”

Review of Paris Le Marais Food Tour with 10+ tastings, cheese, wine, pastries, falafels, history, and practical booking tips.

“Our guide was lovely--he gave us a mix of history of Paris, of Le Marais, and of the food. We made many stops and ate a lot. If I have any suggestion for the guide, it is that the amount of food was overwhelming; while the Croque Monsieur was delicious, it was extremely filling, and frankly just baguettes, wine, and cheese at that early stop would have been more than enough. We liked the size of the group and the walking was perfect. We felt we knew the area well enough to feel comfortable coming back on our own which we did on several occasions. And we went to the…”

7.Walking Food Tour with Cheese, Wine and Delicacies

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 323 reviews · from $148

Taste cheese, wine, pastries and French specialties while exploring Le Marais with a small group and an engaging local guide.

“My husband, friends, and I thoroughly enjoyed our food tour of The Marais (in April 2023) with our exceptional guide, Arthur! His choices of tastings were representative of what Parisians, not tourists, eat, and the food was so, so delicious. Our group particularly enjoyed the visit to the Marche des Enfants Rouges. (For anyone vísiting Paris or this neighborhood, do not miss this iconic and vibrant market.) Arthur masterfully wove lessons of contemporary culture, history, art, and architecture of the Marais throughout the tour with clarity and great humor, making this experience a treat for our palates, as well as our eyes, ears, and brains. I have since recommended this…”
