"Belly of Paris" Les Halles Food Tour
The Les Halles Paris Food Tour is a special Food Tour because of its unique location. In effect, in the center of a French mind there is French Food. But at the center of Paris used to be a very large and bountiful market which was known as ‘les Halles’ – which stands for ‘the Hallways’. Ten hallways of all types of foods, which as an ensemble were coined the Belly of Paris by Emile Zola. That story and much more about Parisian food culture, you will learn around this vibrant and very old neighbourhood of Paris. As you taste French onion soup and indulge in a plate of snails, you will also discover the quartier Montorgueil which hosts one of the oldest French Parisian bakeries still working, understand why some of the best cook shops are in this area (and know which ones to go to), learn about all the families of French cheeses. But you will also discover a small street where an icon of the new style of Parisian cooking, Bistronomy, also opened a wine bar where you will finish your tour with a much better appreciation for French Food and Culture – old and new.

Discover French Culture through Other Food Experiences
Discovering culture through food is what we want to do when we travel. So we have developed all our experiences with that simple idea in mind: ensure that you learn both about the topic at hand, but also about French culture in the process. So in our food tours, we will talk about the history of various aspects of French food, in our cooking class in Paris about how certain dishes became so important in our culture. During our wine tastings, we will explore the regional differences in French culture. And, a regional residential holiday is an opportunity to deep dive French food culture to its core and foundation: the regional gastronomies, and the concept of terroir.
