To begin, you will enter the oldest chocolate factory in Paris. Further on, macarons are the order of the day. The next discovery concerns a French specialty that you can make all the delights of, be it candy, jam or cream: salted butter caramel.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

To begin, the whole family will step inside Paris’s oldest chocolate store. The shop window is as beautiful as the selected chocolates are tasty.
Further along, macarons are in order. Your children will choose their desired flavor from a range of fifteen, because young gourmets can be real connoisseurs.
Next discover the Odéon neighborhood, where it’s all about a French specialty you may cook every delight with, whether it be candy, jam, or cream filling: salted butter caramel. You’ll enjoy a few of these caramel recipes before turning your attention back to chocolate.
You’ll alternately visit two extraordinary chocolate factories. The first displays a wide array of carefully prepared chocolate mousses. Absolutely jaw-dropping! Mousses are a feast for the mouth, but the bars’ packaging is a feast for the eyes.
Your last stop will give you the opportunity to share a drink with your guide in the warm atmosphere of a chocolate shop, or in summer one of the best ice-creams in Paris
