Food tours — by bike · Marais to Eiffel Tower

Bike + Brunch Tour of Iconic Flavours + Sights

Cruise through 30+ top sights and taste the unmissable French flavours, from crêpes to croissants to chocolates, then a champagne cheers at the Eiffel Tower to celebrate.

The experience

Iconic tastes that never go out of style, next to what the rule-breakers are up to…

Enjoy the sights and sounds of daily Parisian life as you learn how to source the best ingredients for a classic French meal.

We sweep through the backstreets of the Marais and the Left Bank, embracing the laid-back mood of the French flâneur…

Perhaps you will fall head over heels for French cheese (like us…)

Be Parisian for a few hours. Ride like a local, eat like one too.

A small-group ride through the city with a local in love with the City of Light, stopping to taste as we go.

We meet by the iron gates of the Mairie du Paris Centre and start where every Parisian morning starts: award-winning boulangeries for croissants, coffee, chocolates and macarons. Then we ride. Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Love Locks bridge, the glittering Seine, Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter, then the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, the Pont Alexandre III, the Invalides and Napoleon’s tomb, more than thirty sights in all, with a stop at the flower market commissioned by Napoleon, a cheese shop for the picnic, and a crêpe along the way.

We finish at the Eiffel Tower with a Champagne cheers. A group of any size, arranged just for you. A ride like a local, with a guide who knows the quiet streets. Rated 4.9 since 2018.

The brunch

Real French butter, top-quality flour, and beaucoup savoir-faire.

We start in the Marais at award-winning boulangeries: the best croissants, coffee, chocolates, macarons and a few surprises, tasted before we clip in. Then into the market to pick out cheeses from the stalls Parisians shop at.

The flower market

Commissioned by Napoleon in 1808, and still blooming on the Île de la Cité.

The ride

Thirty sights, one unhurried morning.

Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the Louvre and why the Mona Lisa is famous, the Love Locks bridge and the glittering Seine, the galleries of Saint-Germain, the Latin Quarter where Paris goes out, then the Grand Palais and Petit Palais, across the Pont Alexandre III to the Invalides and Napoleon’s tomb. Stories at every stop, with Polaroids to treasure.

The finish

We end our dazzling ride at the Eiffel Tower with a Champagne cheers.

Macarons and cheese

In search of the French macaron, in intimate boutiques, and which cheese to take home.

We’ll take you to the macaron shop the neighbours love, then to the fromagerie the neighbours use, for the cheeses.

The crêpe

A real Breton crêpe, eaten street-food style.

Buckwheat, ham, cheese, folded hot off the griddle, from a stand that does nothing else. Fuel for the second half of the ride.

Chocolates in Saint-Germain

Art galleries, fashion, and a stop for chocolates.

We ride the charming Left Bank quarter of galleries and boutiques, and stop at a chocolatier who treats cacao the way a vigneron treats grapes.

Award-winning Paris roasters

Paris has good coffee now. Finally.

Some of the best coffee in town, at an off-the-beaten-path spot beloved by neighbours. Learn how we drink coffee in France and how to order it in a Parisian café. Or tea, or hot chocolate.

Pâtisserie

Try the classics and the newcomers.

Icons of French pâtisserie. From classics hundreds of years old to rule-breaking flavours by daring pâtissières. Madeleines, choux à la crème, and something unexpected.

Live availability, instant confirmation. Easy to change or cancel if necessary.
