The History of Parisian Pastry

Beoordelingen van gasten over onze tours en locals
"My partner and I spent 10 nights in Europe, with 5 of them in Paris. It was our first trip and we wanted to engage with a local to learn more about this amazing city and experience the food. We booked a food tour with Gelsomina, and it was the best decision we made. Gelsomina felt like a friend, she had such interesting information about Paris and the food scene and we ate the most amazing bites! She customizes the tour to your tastes, but we had: coffee, pastries, cheeses, wine, tapenades, bread, oysters, more amazing desserts, crepes, galettes, macarons, and more. We were so full and even had left overs we ate later that day. I would 100% book again with Gelsomina! "
"We had a 3 hour tour of Montmartre with Paulette - Three of us with quite different photographic experience - two with SLR's and the third only with an Iphone. She accommodated each of us and our different levels of photographic skills with aplomb. Paulette is not only skillful in teaching photography, she is also a superb guide. We were captivated by the knowledge she transmitted to us about this area of Paris. We all came away with an improved ability to capture the wonder of Paris through the aperture of our respective lenses. We would highly recommend Paulette and if you can spare the time book more than 3 hours."
"My siblings and I had no idea what to get my dad for his 75th birthday, but when he and his wife would be heading to Paris, we decided a food tour would be the exact right gift! Based on the notes we got back, I think we made the right choice: Our food tour with Olivia was superb. Olivia’s brought her enthusiasm, passion, and knowledge of Parisian culture to our food experience. We appreciated the way her tour combined her knowledge of food with her knowledge of Montmartre history and culture. Olivia was not only knowledgeable: she was friendly, communicative, helpful, and responsive to our questions and preferences."

Experience the French 'goûter,' a cherished afternoon snack tradition. Around 4 PM, Parisians pause for a sweet treat, often a delicious pastry like a pain au chocolat from their local boulangerie.
The macaron, a symbol of Parisian pastry elegance, has a long history. These delicate almond meringue cookies were perfected in the 20th century by Ladurée, who first sandwiched them with ganache.
Meet Marie-Antoine Carême, a pioneer of French pastry in the 19th century. He was famous for his elaborate confectionery creations, elevating pastry from a simple treat to a true art form.
The éclair, meaning 'flash of lightning' in French, is a classic choux pastry filled with cream and topped with icing. It is said to be named for being eaten in a flash! A must-try on any pastry tour.

"Joao was lovely and made walking through Montmartre such a wonderful experience for our family. We haven't received our pictures yet, but honestly that's just an added bonus. His company and the dialogue we shared as we walked through the city was exactly what we were looking for. I thought we would have more time during the actual tour (2 hours) to see the inside of Sacré-Cœur, but I don't think we missed out on anything. Had I known we wouldn't really be going inside during the tour, I wouldn't have made reservations for something across town so quickly after, but this was on me. I'd definitely recommend Joao to other families who want to see a different part of the city and friendly conversation. "
"We went as a family of 4, with 2 kids aged 4 and 7. We asked our 4 year old what he liked most about the tour and he said “macarons!” gelsomina was able to adjust our meeting spot and locations on the fly based on what we wanted to experience, and how hungry we were. We got a variety of basic to unique sweets, even some we had never heard of before. We liked that she focused on local establishments (not laduree or Pierre herme). She was also great for families, and understood how to balance walking with routing through a park and types of places to keep both kids and parents engaged in the cuisine. She introduced just enough history to engage our 7 year old. The pace of the tour was good, and didn’t feel like too much walking given our young kids, but if we were a group of all adults I’m sure she would have covered more ground. "
"Izabele is a great guide! I chose her because our young adult daughters traveled with us and I thought she may have insight into shopping and other similar interests. YES! She gave us insider tips for the Dior Museum and other excursions, both in person and a follow up text with details. She is very informative & helpful and our tour with her was almost MORE food than we could eat! Highly recommend Iza!"
"We had a thoroughly enjoyable tour of Monmarte with Iza, who was warm, lively, super passionate about the history of culture of Monmarte, and was a wealth of recommendations of things to do in Paris. All of food tastings were delicious - the savoury tart was my favourite, and the kids (1 and 4) loved the carousel rides we squeezed in along the way. We highly recommend Iza. "
"We do food tours in every city we visit and this experience was perfect. We had just our family and the local guide. Olivia made this tour what it was which is what withlocals is about. She was warm, friendly, personable and was great with our teenage daughters. She knew the restaurants and the staff and even other locals. "
"Our tour guide Gierdre adjusted our tour to visit a neighbourhoid we had not been before in Paris. She knew great little places to stop- not the average tourist destinations but unique experiences and photo locations that only a local would know. And she constantly added history and context to our tour. Very friendly and stylish guide who we highly recommend . "
