Moved to Paris six years ago purely for the food – and I've been eating my way through every neighborhood ever since. My obsession with finding the city's best croissants, cheeses, and hidden culinary gems has turned me into a walking encyclopedia of where locals actually eat and shop. I'll take you beyond the tourist traps to the places that make Parisians queue up, because nothing beats sharing an incredible meal with someone who's just as excited about food as you are.

"This was a lovely tour! My only critique is that the timing wasn’t quite as I expected. I think there could be a note added that it’s 40 mins plus any time spent in stores/cafés etc. We actually had to leave the le walk tour early because we had a reservation to get to so we didn’t have time to finish it. I also would prefer if the description of the place was spoken leading up to arrival. I didn’t love standing outside the shops on the bustling street while looking at the storefront and I felt rude listening to the descriptions while inside. I’m also trying to work on my French so wanted to have both ears available to listen to the workers. But overall a lovely experience and I can’t wait to continue using Le Walk!" - Kirisa G.
