Want to please the whole family? How about a sweet and chocolate treasure hunt in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a neighborhood housing the best chocolate makers and pastry brands in Paris. This playful and gourmet tour includes 7 tastings. Throughout the tour, your children will participate in a treasure hunt to discover the next store where you will taste some of the best French delicacies: macarons, caramel and different types of chocolate!
To begin, you will enter the oldest chocolate factory in Paris. Further on, macarons are the order of the day. The next discovery concerns a French specialty that you can make all the delights of, be it candy, jam or cream: salted butter caramel. You will certainly enjoy some of these caramel recipes before turning back to pastries to bite into a delicious cream puff. The visit will end in summer with one of the best ice-creams in Paris, and in winter with an invigorating hot chocolate.

What To Expect
Saint Germain des Pres Quarter
To begin, the whole family will step inside Paris’s oldest chocolate store. The shop window is as beautiful as the selected chocolates are tasty. Further along, macarons are in order. Your children will choose their desired flavor from a range of fifteen, because young gourmets can be real connoisseurs. Next discover the Odéon neighborhood, where it’s all about a French specialty you may cook every delight with, whether it be candy, jam, or cream filling: salted butter caramel. You’ll enjoy a few of these caramel recipes before turning your attention back to chocolate. You’ll alternately visit two extraordinary chocolate factories. The first displays a wide array of carefully prepared chocolate mousses. Absolutely jaw-dropping! Mousses are a feast for the mouth, but the bars’ packaging is a feast for the eyes. Your last stop will give you the opportunity to share a drink with your guide in the warm atmosphere of a chocolate shop, or in summer one of the best ice-creams in Paris

5.00Tifenn was delightful! She felt like a longtime family friend. She’d done her homework and knew all 6 of our names right off the bat. We have 4 kids, ages 6 through 15 and Tifenn kept them all engaged and involved. It was a highlight to our trip to Paris! Just make sure you show up hungry!

5.00Highly recommend this company! The booking process was easy - Dominique was super responsive and helpful with questions we had. Our guide Nathalie was so amazing we would have hung out with her all day if she let us ;-) She gave us the most exquisite tour of the Marais area visiting patisseries, chocolatiers and other tasty surprises, telling us stories about Paris and more along the way. We loved every minute of our time with her (my husband, myself and our 12 yr old daughter) Would definitely use them again in the future!
A highlight of our trip!

5.00Wow! This was so much more than we expected. A highlight of our trip. Tifenn, our guide, took us and our kids (11 and 13) to about 7 different places and 7 unique treats. It took about 2 hours and the walking was in a small area. Tifenn was a great storyteller giving us the history of the treats and the stores. A highlight of our trip!
Our tour was fantastic....

5.00This was a fun and engaging experience. We learned some fun food and Parisian history while enjoying some yummy treats. Nathalie was very friendly, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I enjoyed how she interacted directly with our 12 year old son to get him more engaged with the experience. This was certainly a fun way to experience Paris and create some unique family memories.
The BEST tour company in Europe!

5.00Meet the Locals is THE BEST tour company in Europe!! Our family has been a client of Meet the Locals for the last 7-8 years, since we first started to travel to France with our children at age 3 and 5. (They are now 10 and 12). Their entire team is absolutely amazing and have created so many memories for us – private tours of the Louvre, Versailles, Musee D’Orsay, sweets tours in St. Germain, the Tower of London, and others. Each of our tours have been geared perfectly towards our children’s ages and interests and have been fun and entertaining for both children and adults! They offer a great selection of options on their website and will always work with you to tailor to your interests. We first met their team while in Paris, and they now offer tours in several countries, including Italy, England, and Scotland, and of course many great options across France. On our most recent visit for Christmas 2024, we had yet another amazing experience with a city walking tour of Strasbourg, France with Christelle (Who we knew from a previous tour in Paris the year before!) that gave us a chance to learn about this beautiful city and experience their Christmas markets. We finished our holiday trip in Paris with a sweets tour in Le Marais with Amy, who gave us a wonderful day strolling through Le Marais, learning about its architecture and history while tasting a variety of delicious Parisian sweets. I highly recommend meet the locals for families and adults alike who are looking for a memorable and first class experience while in Europe!
Wonderful Tour!

5.00We had a wonderful time with Blandine! She was incredibly patient with our kids and made sure we got to hit all the spots even though we were running a little long. The kids loved all the treats and we got some great history of the city along with tips for other parts of our trip. It was definitely a highlight of our time in Paris for both us and the kids!

5.00This was by far the most indulgent thing I've ever done - fun, unforgettable, informative, and delicious! Amy was a fantastic tour guide. She did a great job relating to my three kids (ages 7, 10, 12) and was able to teach them about Paris history and culture while introducing them to the most delectable desserts ever. She knows where Flash Invaders can be found, too - so my oldest followed close behind her even though he's normally so "bored" :) All in all an amazing time!
