Description

Head to the meeting point and set out on a guided tour of Bordeaux designed especially for foodies. Start by meeting a young local baker making bread and viennoiserie and see croissants being rolled and folded. Learn how one of the country's most beloved pastries made its way to Bordeaux before finally sampling one of the light, buttery pastries. Next up on your food tour is Bordeaux’s emblematic canelé, a sweet treat with strong ties to the famous wine region. Visit a small, owner-operated patisserie that makes fresh canelés daily using only natural ingredients. Continue your walking tour, passing by the medieval Cathedral of Saint André, the most beautiful religious monument in Bordeaux and where the future king of France Louis VII was married. Stop to marvel at the gold-topped tower of Pey-Berland before continuing to your next foodie stop, a typical café where you'll get the chance to try a savory classic, the croque monsieur. Next up, cheese – no food tour in France would be complete without it. Meet a specialist cheese monger and learn the differences in French terroir in a country that produces over a thousand cheeses. Head to the famous Triangle d’Or quarter and discover a Bordeaux institution that’s been producing artisanal chocolate since the early 1900s. Right next door is one of Bordeaux’s newest pâtisseries, which was opened in 2007 by the son of a famous pastry maker. Sample one of the pastry shop's popular offerings, a crunchy puff pastry filled with cream. Finally, round out your foodie tour by visiting a local wine bar and learn everything you need to know about French wines in a tasting of three local wines. Benefit from the knowledge of the bar's owner, who will be leading the tasting. End your tour with a deeper appreciation for Bordeaux's culinary history and new insights into how the city's past has shaped its food culture.
