Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Start your day in true Parisian style, in a hurry with a cup of coffee and a croissant or a pain au chocolat, while they're still warm.
Because you know you will be hungry later in the day, choose a delicious traditional baguette (of course, you choose the best baguette. You don't skimp on quality here).

Stop 2

Despite the early morning rush and the fear of a potential delay due to a surprise strike or overcrowded underground, your thoughts are already wandering to the day's delights. No time for a restaurant lunch? You opt for a packed lunch to enjoy between meetings.
And since you’re also looking forward to the after-work « apéro » with friends. You head to a family-run cheese dairy where each cheese, matured to perfection, has been telling a story since 1946.

Stop 3

Your « apéro » groceries are not done just yet : You make a quick trip to a charcutier who has been awarded the title of "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" (Best Craftsman in France) to pick up some of the best local charcuterie (fined cured meats). To accompany this feast, you buy a delicious wine chosen in perfect harmony with your cheese and charcuterie finds.

Stop 4

You had your lunch already. The afternoon is drawing to a close, work hasn't stopped and you're feeling hungry. What better way to reward a busy day than with a sweet treat? An authentic Macaron or a Proustian madeleine, follow your craving of the moment in this emblematic local shop.

Stop 5

Yeaaah! Now that work is done, it's time to relax! You get together with your friends for a well-deserved aperitif picnic in one of the beautiful parts of the city. What a pleasure it is to complain about the day you’ve had with your selection of cheeses and fine cured meats, a glass of wine, and a few of your friends.

Stop 6

As always, the « apéro » has gone on a little too long, and you've worked up an appetite for dinner. You decide to head to a Tibetan restaurant with your friends.
But on the way there, you pass by this magnificent chocolate factory dating back to 1761 and it's impossible not to stop off and taste one of its chocolate specialties.

Stop 7

Aaaah, you’re almost at the Tibetan restaurant, but you can't resist tasting a little something wonderful. Parisian gourmandize is just that: too much good food for a foodie like you!

Stop 8

At last, you arrive at the restaurant. Let yourself be carried away by a cuisine that makes you travel, and already the desire to discover other culinary horizons is germinating for tomorrow: Mmmm, maybe you’ll be more in the mood for Italian food tomorrow, or Lebanese, or …
Yes, Paris isn't just France, it's a world of flavors around every corner!
