Bonjour, je suis Mathilde ! French by birth, foodie by nature, and storyteller by passion! I’m a Paris-based guide with a big love for cheese, old stones, and funny anecdotes. Originally from beautiful Normandy, I studied history before becoming a journalist — and after living five years in Vietnam, I came back to Paris with an even stronger curiosity for people, culture... and food, of course. My tours are a mix of local life, hidden gems, and delicious discoveries. I won’t just show you Paris — I’ll help you understand it, taste it, and feel it. Whether you’re into royal scandals, croissant trivia, or quiet corners no one tells you about, I’ve got stories and spots just for you. Let’s walk, eat, laugh and learn together — and make your Paris stay truly unforgettable! BA in History – University of Caen MA in Journalism – ESJ Paris

Join me on a delicious walk through the historic food districts of Paris — from the elegance of the Palais Royal to the heart of Les Halles and the lively streets of Le Sentier. We’ll stop along the way to taste both classic favorites and surprising local specialties: breads, pastries, cheeses, sweets… and of course, a moment to relax with a glass of wine and cheese, like true Parisians. Every bite has a story, and every street has a flavor. This tour is all about tasting, learning, and enjoying. Miam miam!
Mathilda knew just what appeals to a 17 year old grandson. Anything involving his stomach! We tasted many wonderful treats along the way. What a perfect way to learn more about Paris and their food! Thank you for a memorable day!
Mathida was very accommodating to the 6 people us on our foodie tour, with several of us having mobility issues. She meet us at our hotel, then arranged for taxis to get to the central area for our walking tour. The food samples were delicious, finalized with wine.
Awesome walking tour where we got to try a variety of food and learn about some French food history! Mathilde was a great guide and super knowledgeable.
Mathilde is very knowledgeable and gave us good history on how certain foods came to be popular. We learned a lot about how the city had developed, especially in terms of food and food production. It’s a fascinating way to learn about the city. She has a great sense of humor and took us to many excellent and fascinating places: Sweet and Savory! She had answers for all questions, including those not related to food.
Mathilde was excellent in every way. She guided us through wonderful food options and explained the backstory of each delight. A marvelous tour!
