Walking food experience
Montmartre Food Tour
From SoPi to the Abbesses — six artisan stops, the best sourdough in the arrondissement, and a finale with wine in a hidden cellar.
The experience
The food tour that real Parisians take
Most food tours start at the top of Montmartre and work downhill. We do the opposite — because that's how the neighbourhood actually works. You start at Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, in the heart of South Pigalle, and climb through the Rue des Martyrs as the streets narrow, the buildings shrink, and the village feeling builds with every block.
By the end, you've tasted the neighbourhood the way a local does: not a highlights reel, but a layered story — bread before cheese, cheese before wine, all of it connected.

The peak moment — at 2/3 of the tour
Inside the cave d'affinage
Every great tour has a moment you don't expect. Ours is the fromagerie cave — the aging cellar beneath the cheese shop, where wheels of Comté sit in darkness for 24 months. The affineur opens it just for us. You see, you smell, you taste. Then Thomas says: "Those crystals under your teeth? That's tyrosine — it's the signature of excellence."
