Overview

On this self-guided auido tour produced by Annie Sargent, a tour guide and producer of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, you will have the opportunity to devour Paris’ culinary classics as you stroll through its historical market area.

It’s easy to fall in love with the City of Light, one bite at a time. But this is especially true in Les Halles, a historical food market moved underground in the late 1900s, and on Rue Montorgueil, where the city’s flavors are as vivid as the strokes on a painter’s canvas. On this tour we’ll navigate the area where culinary artists and masters create incredible morsels with milk, flour, and eggs – the soul of Parisian cuisine.

On the tour you will walk by many restaurants. You can book them using The Fork App or by visiting their official websites. I only recommend restaurants I've tried and loved, but please note, that the cost of food and drinks en route is not included in the tour price.
