Been researching different tours and just came upon a very affordable amazing looking foodie tour online on one of my favorite site, A Girl's Guide to Paris . How cute is their website?
Two years ago I did a wine tour at O Chateau in Paris, very near The Louvre. It was ok. The 'vintage' wine was a 2014 bottle - yes, I was there in 2014, so, no O Chateau, this is not a vintage wine. Sorry, my Napa Valley snobbery comes out at the most horrible moments... Nevertheless, the underground rock walls were fun and the host was friendly and informative about French wine history and regions.
However, the idea of tasting macarons and chocolates sounds heavenly! And yes, I admit that I HAD TO order macarons and desserts from McDonalds on Champs Elysees . It was so fun! The macarons were delicious and it was a fun treat on a hot summer day in June to run in, do some people watching, then take my little bag to eat my yummy McMacarons in front of Arc de Triomph . On the flip side, I ordered a box of macarons from Laduree. OMG. How GORGEOUS and 'French' is Laduree?! I want to live there. Yes. Live inside Laduree. Admit it. You want to live there too.
