Paris Local Market & Bastille District Food Tasting Tour

Dorine was a superb and knowledgeable guide and we were fortunate to be part of a group of only one other couple which made the experience easy and intimate. The venues visited were of a really high standard snd the food and drink delicious! Highly recommended!

I have lived in this neighborhood near the market for 20 years now.

One :

- to pay 75€ a head and 70€ for children is pure unethical behaviour IMO.

Two :

- as a resident and an American many of these guides are telling misleading or incorrect information. I often have pointed this out

Three :

- the covered market is NOT a museum. Many people do not buy anything. If you back in the US for instance ran out to 7/11 because you forgot butter during lunch and instead of being able to get to the dairy section you were blocked by thirty people standing in front of the products, making them totally inaccessible, well how would you feel?

I think as part of local government, sadly we will have to restrict access to tourists to this covered market, at least as Venise has done or recently Kyoto. Tourism yes, but respect for the residents.

We had a wonderful time. Our guide Garance was lovely and took great care of us! We tasted so many things and saw Bastille area as we walked. Our group was great and we shared fun conversation together as well. Relaxed and fun!

What an absolutely amazing food tour! Highly recommended! We ate until we popped! Our guide brought us through the bastille district and we got to try some amazing food!

We had a fantastic time exploring the markets of Bastille and sampling croissant, coffee, cheese, wine and sausages. The highlight was the guide Arthur who was very knowledgeable & easygoing as well as the configure tasting who thought cherry & Kalamata olives would be so good!

Highly recommend this food tasting tour.
