Add Your Description

Essentially, you will sample the very best local food and drink in both Paris and Champagne. While on this experience, we will integrate interesting facts, recipes, and general food knowledge as well as the long food history of France, a very important part of the culture - knowledge that you can continue to enjoy and share with your friends and family upon your return home.

Why France?

La creme de la creme, the very best.

The cream on top of the cream is what I kept saying every time my husband Emmanuel would take me to a new restaurant in France. Then, I realized that French people have been making luxurious food like this longer than probably anyone else in the world. Visiting a boulangerie that is more than 200 years old is exceptional, and my French husband just smiles while I melt into a chef's dream. All I can think is: This is why so many chefs around the world look to classical French cooking for inspiration. This is why I went to a French cooking school that sets the standard for good food. This is the reason why we dream of Paris!

The idea of bringing tourists to the city of Paris and Champagne country was born. Let’s share this with the world in a different way. A way where we lay out the red carpet and also share useful food knowledge that will last for a lifetime.

I first came to France as a student 20 years ago, and it has taken me this long to discover many hidden gems. With both Emmanuel’s experience of organizing events in France and mine as a certified culinarian, we believe we can combine a series of events that will satisfy the most curious epicurean.

*Epicurean: a person devoted to sensual enjoyment, especially that derived from fine food and drink.

Q & A

What can we do before and after the culinary experience?
To explore, adjust, and recover from jetlag, we suggest you arrive 2 or 3 days before the tour to fully explore the beauty of Paris. We will begin our tour in Paris on Monday morning and conclude our tour in Champagne on Thursday morning. From there you can continue exploring Champagne, return to Paris, or travel onward to another region. There are so many amazing places to explore!
What to pack for Paris?
Our recommendation is to travel light. Also, bring a small backpack or larger purse for day excursions as the weather can be changeable in the spring. A light jacket and a warm sweater are essential, and it’s always nice to have an extra layer on hand. Be sure to pack comfortable shoes, those can be walking shoes, sneakers, or ballet flats. You might arrive with a carry-on bag and leave with a checked suitcase, as the shopping here is that amazing!
What about Refunds?
Please note that all deposits are non-refundable. This is due to the fact that we are making reservations and paying in advance on behalf of the group. The deposit of 1,500 Euros is due at the time of booking and the remaining 1,000 Euros is due 10 days before the scheduled tour. However, if something unforeseen should happen and you can give us 15 days' notice, we would be happy to reschedule your tour for a later date or change the name on the reservation.
