Overview

Mobile ticket
Taste the sweet side of Paris—then uncover its shadows.
This walking tour through the Notre-Dame and Latin Quarter area blends irresistible pastries with powerful true stories.
Starting at the peaceful Île Saint-Louis, we’ll enjoy gourmet treats from beloved local bakeries. But behind the sugar lies sorrow: the Notre-Dame fire, medieval executions, and the tragic legend of the drowned girl whose face became the most kissed lips in history.
We’ll stroll through hidden courtyards, past ancient churches, and along the banks of the Seine where ghosts of the past still linger.
Along the way, you’ll hear tales of love, loss, revolution, and resilience. The experience ends at the foot of the Panthéon, final resting place of France’s greatest minds—Voltaire, Rousseau, Marie Curie.
A tour for those who crave both flavor and feeling, and want to see the heart of Paris through a deeper, more dramatic lens.

5.00This was a very lovely tour with stories you won't hear anywhere else in Paris. It's nice to have a local to guide you to the best treats in Paris, and to share some delightfully morbid stories with you. If I'd had more time in Paris I would have checked out his website to see what else he offers!!
Fun, Tasty, and Totally Unique!

5.00This tour was one of the highlights of our time in Paris! Loik was a fantastic guide : funny, friendly, and full of great stories. He took us through the beautiful area around Notre-Dame, stopping at amazing pastry shops and sharing some fascinating stories. The pastries were absolutely delicious (seriously, some of the best we had in Paris), and Loik made everything even more fun with his great energy and knowledge. It felt like a walk with a friend who knows all the coolest hidden spots and the best sweets in town. If you love desserts and want to learn something different about Paris, definitely book this tour. Thank you, Loik!
