The Epicurean's tour of Rive Gauche

This tour will take you to the most coveted destinations ensuring you don't miss a thing in a city known to have endless gastronomy offerings

As an established food writer with culinary training who calls Paris home, Eileen eats in this city for a living. The places listed in the tour here highlight the best of French terroir and savoir-faire, the two things that make the food here so internationally renowned. Paris is smaller than you would imagine but incredibly dense so she's zoomed into the Rive Gauche, her favorite area that really shows off the best of Paris when it comes to restaurants and attractions.

This tour will take you to a boulangerie (bakery) with the best croissant in the city, a fromagerie (cheese shop) by a decorated cheese monger, a traditional market, a walk through a park, a luxury food emporium, a chocolate shop by the most famous living French chef, and two tapas style bars by Michelin-approved French chefs all in under five hours
