This was one of the most incredible experiences I've had in Paris from sommelier Lou giving us a full understanding of wine, I cannot say enough. Most locals don't even know about this place, but it is a historical location that is worth a visit, I highly suggest upgrading your experience for the premier wines and receiving a bottle of wine with a commemorative label. I went with my father who does not drink, but there was a nonalcoholic option for him. At the end of the tour, he was asking where to purchase the grape juices. Inside of the caves, you are transported from Paris to a completely different world of wine and history... Make sure to watch your head, the ceilings are low. Ever room in Les Caves du Louvre were full of history and made you feel like you were eternally out of this world

What a great experience at Le Foodist. This was booked for us through "My Private Paris", as a…read moremorning market tour and cooking class for lunch. Luc was our guide and chef, and did a really great job. We enjoyed shopping for ingredients at the market just a few blocks away from the Le Foodist kitchen. Once back to the kitchen, Luc gave us the run down of what we would be making. Instructions were clear, and we all worked together to put a 3 course lunch together. I even learned a few cool new techniques such as a simple "sous vide" by tightly wrapping chicken in plastic wrap and cooking in hot water. Fun, educational and delicious. They offer a variety of different classes and I would highly recommend when visiting Paris.

The process was so easy and friendly from start to finish - booking with Fred was prompt and very accommodating, and Chef Stefane welcomed us in making us feel like we were visiting a friend in Paris. The facility was clean and beautifully appointed (and air conditioned!), making a comfortable experience. All 4 of us enjoyed the process, learned so much, and loved the tea while we sampled our finished product. We took the extras with us - what a treat for days! In addition, Stefane went above and beyond to help us plan our remaining days in Paris - we were so grateful for his kindness and local knowledge! Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back when we visit again!

I am hesitant to write reviews in English on some of the spots we discovered in Paris via French…read moreYelp, but this store should not remain a secret. Paris definitely does not have a craft beer culture. This is a real shame because there are many wonderful beers produced in France. But you would be hard pressed to find 95% of them in bars in Paris, even bars known for having good beer. One of your only options is going to Cave a Bulles and buying individual bottles of French beer. If Simon is not busy, you can easily chat with him for an hour about beer. He will help you choose a good variety of beers to bring home, ones that you are probably not going to find in the US. His English is excellent. And If you really want to make a friend, bring him a rare beer from the US (or elsewhere).

I showed up 15-20 minutes before closing, and I wish I had gone in sooner. Simon loves what he does and it's evident. My 2 biggest regrets were not bringing him a bottle from back home and not having a checked bag to bring the loads of Cantillon (that I wish I had bought) back to where I was staying in Nice. La Cave a Bulles will certainly be a staple for me whenever I visit Paris.

There was a smattering of ice on the tray but certainly not enough to keep the oysters cold. That said, perhaps this is how the French serve them. These were the only whelk of the trip that had sand in them. And, service was underwhelming. I think a party seated after us was served drinks first and I had to walk to the bar to ask for my check. There, I was ignored until I said something. Then, I asked if I should pay at the bar and they replied, "If you want." They clearly were not ashamed that I was compelled to seek out my check on foot. It was just poor service for a $$$ place. Though, the fois gras pate and smoked scallops were quite good. There are so many other great seafood places in Paris; I wouldn't recommend this one.

There are a lot of reviews for this tour online whether it be yelp or tripadvisor. I get the…read moreimpression that this is completely dependent on your guide but we had David and we had a wonderful experience that was definitely worth the price. We quickly found that we were going to have a private tour when it was just me and the BF that arrived. The guide, David, arrived on time (actually a little early) and met us right in front of La Maison du Chocolat a world class chocolatier. The tour does indeed take about 3.5 hours but it was filled with great experiences and information. It wasn't just about the food though, we were also sprinkled with the history of the St Germain de Pres region and its architecture. Throughout our journey, we experienced macarons, eclairs, bread, chocolate, fruit jellies that are all included in your experience. Sure you'll want to eat more from each store, but then you'll realize that you won't be able to eat anymore at the end of the tour if you just stuffed your face. Loved Poilane (the bakery), Patrick Roger and Pierre Hermes. David took time to educate us about the history that impacted each of these culinary artists which made each tasting all the more rich. David was friendly, fun and his English was flawless. You'll have to be comfortable walking and keep up with the quick pace of the city although I get the sense that they'll be flexible with all sorts of people. Would definitely recommend this tour to others! A great experience for those who are interested in experiencing a different level of Paris!
