Chocolate Experience in Paris

Take a bite out of the sweetest corner of Paris with this chocolate-themed tour of the traditional intellectual quarter of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It doesn’t matter whether you are an amateur, an expert or just an ordinary chocolate lover; all you need a sweet tooth.

We’ll take you by Metro – just like a true Parisian – to this historic district, which is named after the abbey that has dominated the area since the sixth century and where medieval French kings were buried. Admire the 1,000-year-old belfry that is the symbol of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

The chocolate specialist guide will show you through this colourful neighbourhood and introduce you to one of the most creative generation of chocolate makers ever. Learn all about the origins of cocoa and, of course, indulge in a series of sublime chocolate tastings. You will visit four exclusive chocolatiers and savour their little delicacies

See all the attractions and landmarks in the area, which for centuries has been associated with radical thinkers. Key French Revolution figures such as Jean-Paul Marat, Georges Danton and Joseph-Ignace Guillotin all lives in the area during those tumultuous times. Saint-Germain-des-Prés became an intellectual hub in the post-war period when the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre and Jean-Luc Godard made it their home, making it the thinking man’s Montmartre.
