About Tour Guide Aurélie M.

Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

There's no better way to explore a country and its culture than through its food, don't you agree? With a deep passion for cooking and gastronomy, I have been crafting unique private food tours for the past 17 years.

My tours are not just about tasting exquisite French cuisine; they are about experiencing an authentic slice of French life. I specialize in guiding food lovers through the vibrant markets and high-quality specialty shops in Paris.

I have decided to also expand in the French Basque Country and create more food memories exploring Biarritz, Bayonne or Saint Jean de Luz. I now share my time between Paris & the South West of France.

For me, traveling is all about exchanging stories, discovering new people, and immersing oneself in local tales. Through my food tours, I aim to share the essence of the French "art de vivre" with every visitor.
