The Wonders of Paris: Landmarks, Legends and Local Bites Tour

Paris is the kind of place you want to taste as well as see, and this tour – including three classic Parisian treats – is a veritable feast for the senses. Your meeting point – the grand confection that is the Palais Garnier opera house – sets the stage for a dramatic reveal of the city’s most iconic landmarks, atmospheric enclaves and cinematic Left Bank Streets. 

Heading south from the Palais Garnier, you’ll stroll through the polished Place Vendôme and into the elegant Jardin des Tuileries, where the Louvre Museum peeps over manicured lawns and through neatly trimmed elms. 

The second act takes you across the Seine to the Left Bank. Follow in the footsteps of the writers and artists – Picasso, Hemingway, Sartre, de Beauvoir – who frequented the bohemian enclaves of St-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter in days of yore, and fuel up with a classic mini jambon-beurre (or meat-free fromage-based alternative). You’ll also visit an award-winning confiserie to meet the local artisans and taste their wares, that most delicately Parisian of sweet treats: the macaron. 

But that’s not all. Come over all ‘Emily in Paris’ as you stroll through leafy Luxembourg Gardens, with its grand palace, fun mini boating lake and monumental Medici Fountain. And, of course, there’s one final sweet French fancy to enjoy.
