- 1This unique tour of the Marais district of Paris will show you the best of the city’s lively “gayborhood”. While one of the oldest areas in Paris, it has developed as the gay neighborhood in the past few decades, resulting in a unique mix of historic architecture and chic boutiques. This tour is a unique mix as well – of gay/lesbian history, stories of yesterday and today, and the best places to visit during your time in Paris.

- jenniferpV854MA0 contributionsA memorable mealOur family loved our lesson and meal with Dominique. He was friendly, patient, and excellent at his craft. The meal we created together was delicious, and we really appreciated his food lessons, as well as his tips for navigating Paris and the rest of our trip. Hanging out in a chef’s apartment for a meal was a unique experience.Written August 29, 2024
- Gini B0 contributionsTantalizing Breads of ParisWonderful guide … very good English with great sense of humor .. our tour had 4 children who did most of the hands on … extra breads and rolls were ours to take … lots of food 😉Written August 13, 2024
- holly17800 contributionsPerfect eveningOur cooking class with Chef Dominique was fantastic! We had a little bit of trouble locating the correct building, but after that everything was perfect. Chef was friendly, personable and knowledgeable and we appreciated him welcoming us into his home. We were excited to cook Ratatouille and loved all the great tips as we talked…and the fun French music playing. We loved the cooking and also enjoyed eating what we made and visiting with Chef and his wife. We now look forward to trying the recipes at home! Thank you for sending those on to us! And Chef if you are reading this don’t forget to pass on that great music playlist of yours! Book this experience…you will be glad that you did!Written July 23, 2024
- Melsiedlik130 contributionsMontmatre walking food sampling, super fun!We did a private Montmatre walking food tour with Luis. He was very informative and explained all the little items we tasted at various spots. It was great because we stopped into places and tried things we wouldn’t have on our own!Written June 14, 2024
- Rev Dennis S0 contributionsUnderstanding French Cuisine 101Our cooking experience with Marthe was fantastic! We shopped and discussed the why on her selections. Very helpful. Went to three different shops in search of excellence. The entire meal preparation was dedicated to making us wiser about all three courses and their ingredients. The meal was fantastic and we made it! We both learned so much and would recommend others learn from Marthe: she enjoys teaching.Written June 9, 2024
- FarAway126783661440 contributionsChef Fred is the man!An absolute favorite experience. We shopped with Fred, drank a little wine and cooked fish, veggies, souffle ect. Our chef was very generous with information and techniques.Written June 6, 2024
- Mary Beth W0 contributionsMontmartre gourmet food and walking toutMontmartre gourmet food and wine walking no tour with Adriana was amazing. It was the perfect blend of history in the area, history of the food, and the tastings were delicious! Adriana was delightful and charming. We are looking forward to another tour with her the next visit to Paris. What a wonderful memory and experience this was!Written April 23, 2024
- Marcus H0 contributionsWe are hoping to get the recipes from Chef Myriam!We loved the cooking class with Chef Myriam. We gave her our email & are still waiting for the recipes! We hope to get them!Written February 18, 2024
- melissavS4005TI0 contributionsNot a "class"I have no idea what was the point of calling this a "class" as there was absolutely no real teaching of how to make croissants. I had gone in trying to figure out how to fold and roll out the croissants and not much information was passed along- just that he used a pasta maker machine. Absolute waste of money and would NOT reccomend. 2 others in the "class" agreed they though we were going to get hands on. Scoring a baguette does not count. Neither does beating a ball of dough once.Written January 24, 2024
- Roving330603074220 contributionsFun tasty experienceWe had Luis Zarate as our guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable and kind throughout our tour. He even stopped to show us a beautiful church along the way (and so we could warm up from the cold). We tried some great desserts we would have never known about and at the end we went to La LAB for wine tasting. I don't like wine but even I enjoyed the experience, Edward (La LAB) and Luis were great!Written January 10, 2024
- cchance680 contributionsSmall group cooking experienceMy family and I embarked on a culinary journey in Paris with a small group cooking experience. Our patient (.. was such a novice) and knowledgeable chef shares not just recipes but a rich tapestry of historical food insights. The exquisite dishes we created were nothing short of amazing. Set against the backdrop of a breathtaking Parisian view from the chef's apartment, this experience is a must-try – a delightful blend of flavors and culture. Additional, she will send the recipe to your email.Written December 28, 2023
- Tyler M0 contributionsMother & adult sons trip hilightI was traveling with my adult sons, we all love to cook and found the class to be a fun engaging and educational activity that we all thoroughly enjoyed.

- tammydN7129II0 contributionsLuis Zarate was an awesome wine teacher!Luis Zarate was our personal wine teacher for the evening. He taught us about the different colors, smells, and tastes of the wine. It wasn’t just taste the wine. We were able to figure out the year of the wine based on the color. We discussed taste and smell in detail. It really opened my eyes on how wines are analyzed. Luis taught us so much and he was such good company. I was trying to work on my French so he helped me with that also lol. We highly recommend this company and Luis.Written October 7, 2023
- Louis F0 contributionsYummy Delights!Barbara was a wonderful guide. She clearly had many contacts in the area and took us to all her favorite places to sample chocolate and pastries. She had a thorough knowledge of the history of the Saint-Germain area.Written October 4, 2023
