What’s Included:
This playful Paris chocolate tour is a unique combination of history and French sweet tastings in the elegant district of Saint-Germain-des-Près. During this two-hour stroll, your “Mary Poppins” guide will share thrilling anecdotes while your kids will need to find answers to (easy) riddles about the places you will be visiting for your yummy tastings.
Your starting point is by the Saint Germain Church where your kid-friendly guide will offer you a first tasting: a chouquette. This French specialty, a baked and fluffy pastry, consists of small-sized dough sprinkled with pearl sugar…. simple but delicious!
You will then visit a 200-year-old chocolate factory that specializes in high-quality chocolates. Taste what Napoleon and Queen Marie-Antoinette savored, as they were loyal clients for this brand formed in 1779!
Let’s now visit the paradise of macarons. This cookie made of almonds was born in Italy and traveled to France with the chef of Catherine de Medicis. Since then, this pastry has become one of the most famous French pastries in the world. You can find it in many flavors, but it always keeps its round form.
It’s toffee time! But not just any toffee. Get ready to taste the award-winning best caramel in France. From there, let’s go to the temple of choux à la crème! We guarantee you will love this place that looks more like a jewelry store than a pastry shop. Their lovely cream puffs are displayed like precious jewels. Choosing the flavor will be the most difficult task.
Your next boutique is one that dates back to 1830 and has kept its delicate recipe of “calissons”: a crushed mixture of candied melons and almonds from Provence placed on a sheet of unleavened bread and covered with a thin layer of royal frosting.
Time now to travel to Brittany and taste the “kouign amann,” which means “butter cake” in Breton. The recipe becomes evident at your first bite. For Bretons, this dessert can come head-to-head with crêpes.
How about finishing this yummy tour a refreshing stop to savor the most famous of all the Parisian ice cream makers: Berthillon. While any ice cream is of course delicious, these famous scoops are so creamy and scrumptious, they are sure to delight your taste buds!
And if you look for a chocolate-making experience, have a look at our Chocolate Making Course!
Please note that our stops may vary depending on the days and hours of operation of the shops, but the number and variety of tastings are always respected to ensure the best possible experience.
This tour is for kids of all ages! Even though it offers the highest standards of sweet tastings, your children will absolutely love this tour!
We will do our best to choose testing that are nut free and gluten free. However, be aware that there could be traces of nuts as all products are processed in the same workshop.
Absolutely! We would be delighted to prepare a special surprise for him/her and will make sure to give them a memorable experience.
Just advise our superhero squad in your request form about the number of people in your party, as well as their category (adult or child).

Romain was kind and entertaining for our 10 and 13 year old sons. We loved eating the various sweets and
hearing the history of the shops. A great afternoon in St. Germaine!

This was my family’s first trip to Paris and it was stunning at Christmas time. The decorations, lights, trees, shopping and multiple Christmas markets that we visited exceeded our expectations. Each arrondissement had a unique style from quaint (Montmartre) to flashy (Champs-Elysees.) Our illuminations tour was a fabulous way to kick off our arrival in Paris, and we ended our trip 6 days later with the chocolate tasting tour in Saint Germain. Cindy with Bonjour Meet the Locals was our fabulous guide for the entire week, and we appreciated her knowledge and flexibility guiding our family throughout Paris’ top attractions.

We booked 3 tours with “Meet the Locals”. One was the Christmas Illuminations & Christmas market walking tour, one was Montmartre Safari, and one was the Sweet and Chocolate Family Treasure Hunt. All were headed up by Natalie as our guide and she was wonderful, very attentive to our 11 year old daughter to keep her involved and focused. My favorite of the 3 was this walking sweets tour – I highly recommend it. Not only are you walking thru a very lovely neighborhood, you are being educated with all the history of the buildings and events that took place there over the decades. PLUS, all the treats you get to try are amazing! Natalie was a wealth of information about not only the things on our tour, but also any questions we had about restaurants or museums or shopping. In fact – Before we even arrived in Paris, Liz and Dominique from Meet the Locals were emailing us to assist us in making sure we knew where to be and when. They were so extremely helpful that I ended up asking them about some other tours they offer and booked an additional tour straight thru them.
I have already recommended them to friends who are traveling to Paris in the spring, and if we were to go to Paris again, they would be the only ones I call to book any tours.
