A Moveable Feast in the City of Light

Come and explore the many epicurean delights that Paris has to offer. For ten days we will search out the freshest ingredients at local markets and in the shops of artisan bakers, butchers, cheese-mongers and confectioners. The Sunday Raspail Market, Rue Mouffetard, Rue Cler Market, outstanding bakeries Poilâne and Du Pain et des Idées, French chocolate meccas Etoile D’or and La Mere de Famille are all on our itinerary. We will taste test macarons from famed bakeries Ladurée, Pierre Hermé and Gerard Mulot, seek out the best baguettes in the city, compare a selection of incomparable demi-sel butters and spend an afternoon tasting wines and cheeses from some of the top French producers.

A big component of our days together will be centered on demonstration-style cooking classes in our penthouse apartment in Montmartre. These classes are designed to be informal yet informative and are always filled with laughter. After exploring the nearby food-centric streets such as rue de Abessess and rue des Martyrs, we will spend two afternoons and two evenings, wine glasses in hand, gathered around the stove preparing some French themed meals with all of the goodies that we have gathered.

Two lunches and two dinners at classic cafés and our favourite off-the beaten-track bistros will keep us moving around the city on foot and by metro. While there is a food related activity planned daily there will still be plenty of time to check out museums, galleries and historical sites in the city and beyond. Paris is a food lover’s paradise and we look forward to making the most of our delicious daily discoveries! As we are wanting this to be an intimate experience we are limiting the number of guests to 10 people. We hope you can join us.
