Tour

You will never be far away from a local street market in Paris: there is more than 120 marketplaces in Paris area. Your tailor suited food markets will be organized around your living quarters in Paris. The diversity of its food is also a sign of the diversity of French people. 

Through the street markets of your neighborhoods, its bistros, pastry shops, chocolatiers, and wine cellars, travel through the French local history, culture, and culinary traditions. The regional specialties will be revealed to you around a cheese platter with charcuterie (a variety of cured, smoked, and processed pork products) and a glass of wine.

The snacks that have appeared to replace the long meals of the past show the French creativity when it comes to food, and their boundless love for traditional tastes: the snacks found in Paris will take you on a journey all around France, to sample local tastes imported from the sunnier South, the mountains, the woods, the seaside: a geography of food known to the French as “terroirs”.

Through the street markets of your neighborhoods, its bistros, pastry shops, chocolatiers, and wine cellars, travel through the French local history, culture, and culinary traditions. A cheese platter with charcuterie (a variety of cured, smoked, and processed pork products) and a glass of wine will reveal to you all the regional specificities. A reblochon cheese will conjure a life in the Alps before your eyes, while a Jambon de Bayonne will take you to the other side of France to the Basquian country.

The heart and soul of food shopping dwell in the smaller retail markets. At a good market, a special rich odor hangs in the air. Fruits are at the peak of ripeness. Meats have been hung to develop their flavor and tenderness. Cheeses have been fully aged under proper conditions of temperature and humidity. La cuisine du marché (market cooking) implies taking inspiration from seasonal ingredients. French cooking in general and la cuisine du marché in particular seek to bring out or improve the inherent features of good ingredients. Beyond access to fresh foods, outdoor marketing offers possibilities for socializing and a picturesque experience. The stroll through the outdoor market is an end in itself, and the market is a place to see and be seen. As much as the opportunity to buy edibles and ingredients, it is these elements of market culture that draw crowds.
