One of our most cherished things to do in Paris as locals is to visit all the delicious neighborhood spots and collect supplies for a picnic that we share at one of the many parks in town. Our favorite is the Champs de Mars as we can enjoy the stunning Eiffel Tower as the backdrop to our feast.

For this tour we’ll ride from our office in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to the left bank making several stops along the way for picnic essentials. You’ll learn about each special food and boutique along the way, whilst enjoying the beauty of Paris – no underground metro for us! Stops include a famous bakery, one of the oldest covered markets and a wine tasting. Finally you’ll cruise back along the river ready for your picnic, feeling like true locals, armed with not only a basket of goodies, but the knowledge of all the best spots and tips for next time!
