Itinerary Details

Avanti Destinations: Paris for Foodies

Day 1 Paris
After checking in, use your provided Paris TripBuilder CityGuide to navigate to landmarks such as the Musée d'Orsay. Once a famous train station, the d'Orsay has been repurposed as one of the world's finest museums, with the world's largest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings. The view of Paris from the top floor, by the large clock, is quite striking. After seeing the museum, you can stroll along the River Seine towards the Cathedral Notre-Dame, and seek out a quiet Left Bank bistro for dinner before returning to your hotel. If you've walked enough, you can use your 3-day Paris Visite Card to access the Paris Metro.

Today you'll be picked up at your hotel for your Morning City Tourplus Wine and Cheese Tasting., driven by an English-speaking guide. You will be driven by most of Paris' classic monuments on the Right and Left Banks—including the Avenue des Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde, the Eiffel Tower, Invalides, the Place de la Concorde, the Place Vendôme, and Notre-Dame. Crossing over on the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, the tour finishes with a visit to the village of Montmartre on the right bank. Another 20-minute stop will be made to stroll around the Sacre Coeur Basilica and the Place du Tertre where the now famous Modernist artists and painters used to display their work.

After the city tour you will be brought to the traditional bistrot, La Bonne Franquette, in the heart of the Montmartre neighborhood, where you will enjoy two glasses of French wine (red and/or white) and a plate of French cheeses. No return transfer to your Paris hotel so please remember to bring your Paris Visite pass with you so you can take the Metro to your next activity.

Day 3 Paris
This morning, Chef Marthe introduces you to the art of buying the best products in the market. Then you are invited to make with her a complete meal including an entree, a main course, and a dessert. Even though you may be sated after your prepared meal, tonight you will enjoy a special treat: a wine-tasting dinner. This dinner was created for people willing to treat themselves to a different experience, and to a meal they will not forget! No need to be an expert, the important thing is to love wine and food and to want to have a good time. Throughout dinner you will taste four different wines, chosen by a French sommelier to match the food that night. The meal will be a traditional and well-executed French meal, with an appetizer, main course, and dessert. The menu is the same for all participants. If there is anything you do not eat please advise when you book and this will be taken into account. If when you arrive, you realize you don't eat what has been prepared, the chef will prepare an alternative course for you - no worries! The menu is seasonal, so constantly changing. With a unique and refreshing approach, the sommelier will take you through a variety of themes to build up and refine your wine knowledge. He will share with you the secrets necessary to taste wine properly, to navigate a wine list, and to choose wine at a restaurant. He will also expertly guide you through the main wine regions of France, explaining how to read a French label, and how to pair wine with food. You'll finish up the evening with the tasting of a digestif just to make sure you go back to your hotel with an extra big smile on your face!
