Paris: Marché d'Aligre Guided Walking Food Tour

The Marché d'Aligre Guided Walking Food Tour is a small-group culinary tour of Marché d'Aligre, one of Paris's oldest and most active street markets, located in the 12th arrondissement. Meeting at 159 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, the tour takes in the covered Beauvau market hall alongside the open-air stalls that have traded here since the 18th century. A live guide leads the group through the market, making introductions to stallholders and explaining the rhythms of daily Parisian food culture, from seasonal produce to specialist traders.

Across the tour, guests taste cheese, cured meats, and chocolate, and receive a guided introduction to French wine, with tips on pairing and regional styles. The guide covers practical advice on shopping at French markets, reading labels, and sourcing ingredients, making it useful for visitors who want to cook or shop independently during their stay in Paris. Bottled water is included throughout. Food and wine tastings are covered in the ticket price; hotel transfers and gratuities are not included. The cancellation policy is date-based, so check the booking confirmation for the applicable deadline.
