2.Saint-Germain: Gourmet Chocolate & Pastry Walking Food Tour

Walk Saint-Germain-des-Prés with an English-speaking guide such as Catherine, Lola, Emy, or Kevan. Taste eight sweets at places including Debauve & Gallais, Pierre Hermé, and Patrick Roger, then finish with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate.

“Kevan was a fabulous guide, very personable, knowledgeable, and fun. At times he moved us a bit quickly but overall maintained a good pace. The chocolates we tasted were wonderful and roaming the streets of Saint Germaine was a perfect compliment to the tasting. One disappointment- I expected more pastry, as in a croissant or something, it actually would have helped cut through the intense sweetness of all the chocolate offerings. But overall, we are so happy we chose this tour and met Kevan.”

However, our guide provided little information on the origin of sweets/chocolate in the area or what each shop was specifically known for. We had to 'pump' her for information. At some shops, we were instructed to each choose 3-4 items to try. We had to ask what each item was, its significance to the area, and whether it was a speciality of the shop.”
