About this tour
A two-hour guided hunt through Saint-Germain-des-Prés where children crack clues to locate Paris's finest chocolate and pastry shops. You'll stop at seven different makers—from the city's oldest chocolate factory to celebrated macaron and caramel specialists—collecting tastings along the way. The route finishes with seasonal sweets: ice-cream in summer, hot chocolate in winter. An expert guide keeps the pace playful and the knowledge genuine.

What to expect
Your guide meets you in Saint-Germain and hands over the first clue. As kids puzzle out the location, you walk to an artisanal maker—perhaps the historic chocolate factory—and taste whilst learning how they work. Then another clue, another short walk, another shop. Between stops you'll encounter macarons, salted caramel in various forms (candy, jam, cream), choux pastries. The pace suits both rushed adults and dawdling children. By the end, everyone's had seven proper tastings, not samples. The final stop depends on the season: quality ice-cream or a proper hot chocolate to finish.
Good to know
Shops' opening hours may shift the exact stops, but the number and range of tastings stay consistent. Maximum four per booking; larger groups need separate reservations. The walk covers about 2km on flat ground. Buggies and wheelchairs are welcome, and all areas are accessible.
