Love Paris but you’ve seen the Louvre, explored the Marais and St. Germain? Looked all over the Latin Quarter? Visited the Tower and cruised on the Seine? Sally’s new “Paris Off the Beaten Path” will take inquisitive Francophiles who love food, markets, culinary artisans and vibrant Paris quarters, to visit four fascinating ‘emerging’ neighborhoods full of all the things we all love about Paris and more. 
Guests will enjoy leisurely lunches in charming bistros, perhaps even in a Moroccan restaurant. We will experience markets and market streets full of top quality food shops and vendors selling fabulous French foods enhanced by the redolent flavors of Paris’ robust immigrant communities. We will enjoy a stroll along the atmospheric Canal St. Martin and explore charming parks like the Parc de Belleville, Parc Monceau, Parc de Batignolles, the Promenade Plantee, and a hidden gem, the tiny verdant park dedicated to master woodworker Louis Majorelle. We will visit remarkable little shops selling edible floral essences for health, traditional French decorative hardware, linens, tablewares, handmade jewelry and much more.
This is a tour for adventurous adults who love Paris and who enjoy food and wine, and who treasure opportunities to explore off-the-beaten-path quarters with so much to offer visitors who seek the ‘real Paris’. The tour is an active one involving substantial amounts of walking and use of the public transit system.
