History & Pastry Tour in Paris - Le Marais.

The magical thing with Le Marais is that even if it is the most touristic district of Paris, it is also at the same time the most original. As a former freelance columnist, I was lucky enough to meet many authentic food craftsmen full of talent and soul & who settled down in Le Marais, some in the 17th century, and others just a few months ago. This mouth-watering journey will have you meet the skillful hands and masterminds behind several delightful creations such as a famous bread considered as a national treasure since the 1930s. The world-renowned macarons with foie gras and caviar flavor, some grand-cru chocolate made by the Best Craftsman in France, the celebrated yet unpronounceable kouign-amann or even some exquisite French desserts with Syrian roots. You'll also learn some history and anecdotes along about the Marais and why this charming district has been attracting all kinds of people for centuries, from aristocracy, to artists, intellectuals, businessmen, tourists & of course Parisians!
