Description

Dear travelers, if you have a passion for not only sightseeing but also delectable cuisine, I invite you to embark on a historic and gastronomic journey through the Marais district of Paris. This Parisian neighborhood has a rich history, having endured medieval squalor, been adorned with luxurious mansions of courtiers, deserted, reconstructed by settlers, and then deserted once more. Each era has left an indelible imprint on its architecture and culinary traditions. Today, the Marais is once again thriving, teeming with a diverse array of cafes and shops where you can savor the finest French cuisine. Are you curious about the origins of the baguette? Or the number of cheese varieties in France? Or how lobsters, oysters, and snails transitioned from peasant tables to aristocratic menus? I will enlighten you on these topics, as well as what the Sun King had for lunch and how a medieval castle was preserved with jam. But the primary question I'll answer is what culinary delights you should sample in Paris. Please note that this tour does not include any food.I don’t believe it’s my place to dictate your food choices. I will merely guide you to the best spots, and you can decide what to have based on your preferences and dietary needs. I suggest embarking on this tour when you're feeling peckish.
