At a charming cheese boutique in the Marais neighborhood, we'll dive straight into the vast and exciting world that is French cheese: the history, production process, science, regional specialties, and cultural significance. After exploring the cheeses in store, we'll descend to the 17th century cellar for the cheese-and-wine tasting, and even step into the cheese-aging chamber (please note that the cellar is not active during the months of July and August). While we can't guarantee that we'll try all 500+ varieties of French cheeses that are known to exist, you will taste a wide and representative selection! We'll also pair the cheeses with delightful organic or low intervention wines that will have your taste buds singing.

Ontdek de middeleeuwen in Parijs
From the right bank to the ile de la Cité we will discover the evolution of Paris from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. We will begin with a stop in front of a private mansion from the 17th century before visiting a gothic cellar from the 13th century. First immersion into the medieval life and in case of bad weather a warm stop! Then we will discover the most common building for the poor and middle class Parisian during the Middle Ages. We will have a look on a very amazing church built in two very different architectural styles! Before joining the Saint-Louis island, we will have a friendly stop in a lovely café to drink a hot chocolate or a latte...
Arrived on the ile de la Cité we will return into the atmosphere full of mysteries and legends of the Middle Ages with the love story of Héloïse and Abélard the French Romeo and Juliet, the life in Notre-Dame cloister and many other things... We will also make a jump through time during the Gallo-Roman period to discover Paris before Paris. We will finish the tour in front of our majestic Notre-Dame.
I wish with this tour to make history come alive, to give the mute buildings of the past a voice and help you to engage with the city on a deeper level than typical tourist activities would.

Amazing crêpe cooking class
Avant toute chose, lors de votre réservation, IL EST IMPORTANT pour moi de connaitre LES PRENOMS DE TOUS LES PARTICIPANTS pour la surprise finale.
Après avoir accueillis mes stagiaires d'un jour, je leur prête un tablier et direction la "salle de bain" pour qu'on se lave les mains.
Je les répartis en groupe de 2 ou 3 et leur donne le matériel pour préparer la pâte à crêpes.
Chaque petit groupe prépare son appareil et je leur glisse des petits trucs pour avoir le meilleur résultat.
Les pâtes à crêpes sont misent au repos et j'en profite pour faire un petit retour sur l'histoire des crêpes et leur apprendre des petits secrets de professionnels.
Ensuite, a tour de rôle il se dirige vers le coin cuisson où 3 crêpières les attendent.
Chacun va s'essayer au métier de crêpier et dégustera ses créations avec des garnitures maison de la crêperie ( chocolat, confitures, caramel, crème de marron, ... ) en fin de séance autour d'un jus de pomme fermier, d'une bolée de cidre ou d'une boisson chaude.
Ils pourront par la même me poser tous les questions qui leur passe par la tête et cette expérience unique se terminera par une séance photo, vidéo et la distribution d'un petit cadeau maison.

Bezoek een lokale markt en ga picknicken
This tour has featured on NBC Today Show with Hoda & Jenna.
Paris is known as a major gastronomical dream destination. A true local French market, lively and colorful, is the perfect place to begin. You'll fill your senses with a profusion of aromas as you'll stroll along while blending in with the locals. I'll informally teach you about "l'Art de Vivre à la française", the essential art of living the French culture at a market. While sampling local delights, I'll give you easy key sentences in French so that you will positively interact with vendors.
A convivial picnic (replaced in the winter*) of our selection accompanied with French wine will follow in a lovely Parisian location. This will be a sweet opportunity for you to get a great insight and useful tips. You'll sprinkle some Frenchness onto your Parisian journey.
* If the weather does not allow for a picnic (winter, rain, cold weather), you will be offered a savory crepe or some tasty homemade snack from the market + a drink at a café nearby. This is the option most likely privileged during Winter season.
Privéconcert met cabaret & diner
Winner of the "Airbnb Experiences Mentor Award 2019".
Over 6 years of passion sharing this Experience ! Even Brian CHESKY (Airbnb CEO) attended and wrote : "The highlight of my Paris stay was this Experience that I, my girlfriend and our families had there. The cabaret was in Sylvain’s living room, and my mom sat in the front !"
So you'll be my guests for a special dinner party and cabaret concert; we'll all meet for an apéritif with finger food before the show starts.
Aka Silvano Jo, I’ve put on a cross-dressed show of popular "Chanson Française", accompanied by a top class pianist/accordionist.
We'll go on a musical parisian journey through time - over a century of the French Songbook - in many different styles :
The Montmartre epoch of Yvette Guilbert and "Café Concert" (1900's), the glorious Pigalle era (1910-20's), Roaring 20's Vaudeville stars like Mistinguett or Josephine Baker, major songwriters and singers like Edith Piaf or Charles Trenet (1930-40-50's), Serge Gainsbourg or Charles Aznavour (1960-70's); Eurovision french pop, until modern singer-songwriter Stromae. We'll tell you about the singers & songs' stories so you can follow and learn about french culture and history.
Fun, emotion, and surpises in store ;)
At the intermission, we’ll have homemade veloute, quiche, cheese & wine. After the show dessert & Champagne.

Day trip to charming Champagne
Visiting Champagne is the perfect day-trip from Paris and we aim to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Veronica will meet guests at the East train station in Paris (Gare de l’Est) either at 9h15 or 10am, depending on the train schedule that day. We will ride the one hour train together and then dive into the charm of the region's most interesting village, 'Epernay', the former home to Dom Pérignon. We will stroll through the village's farmers' market and pass by the famous sites before heading to the Moet & Chandon or Mercier house for a one-hour tasting (not mandatory and not included in the tour price). Before/after the tasting the group will enjoy a picturesque picnic together overlooking the valley and vineyards before heading back to Paris.
The tour serves to provide an overview of the history of Champagne and the region, show guests some areas they would not find on their own and of course enjoy the local specialty! Guests are welcome to stay longer in Epernay or take the train to Reims if they prefer to explore the region further on their own.

We will meet 25 min before the train departs in order to buy train tickets, get coffees and find comfortable seats on the train. The train will be at your expense and we will be in touch before the tour to help buy train tickets and answer any questions you may have about the tour.
