Upon meeting you at your hotel, we go over your itinerary one more time. Because we know the city inside and out, we can design a day around any theme or area of your choice. Try these, or mix and match! This is just a sampling:

Place de la Concorde -  Gourmet Paris – [also see Gourmet Talks] - a mind-boggling choice of markets and shops; the what and how of the French “non-diet”... Focus on flavor: salts, chocolates, French cheeses, breads and pastries, seasonal produce, charcuteries, wines... For novices and chefs alike
