EPIC Day in PARIS: Unforgettable HISTORY and FOODIE Experience

Today, we're spending the ultimate day in Paris, starting off with an early morning tour of Île de la Cité (City Island) with Walks Tours.
It was one of my favorite historic walking tours I've ever taken, and I'm so excited for you to get a glimpse at all the iconic spots they take you, including discussing Notre Dame (if you don't know, it's still being rebuilt - partially opening Dec. 8th), plus get skip-the-line access to two major French monuments, Sainte Chapelle church and the Conciergerie (basically old city hall).
If you only have a quick day layover in Paris, this tour covers a ton. You'll be able to say you walked in the footsteps of Louis IX at the absolute jewel box that is Sainte Chapelle.
Plus, be able to say that you got to visit where Marie Antoinette's was held in jail before eventually being beheaded (you'll learn all about the guillotine and the French Revolution in the process).
The best part is that once the tour's over, they hand out vouchers for a Seine River cruise that departs near the ending point. I saved mine to use on a warmer day (they're good for a year), but you could easily hop on the boat afterwards.
Next, we'll walk along the Seine and over to St. Germain for a little shopping and snack of Pierre Herme macarons (my favorite!).
Then we'll head over to the Latin Quarter to join Devour Food Tour's Paris at Sunset: Apéritif, Food & Wine Tour.
Spoiler alert, it was a ton of fun and I made so many new friends and foodie discoveries.
We began at Paris’s oldest surviving monuments and best-kept secrets-a real Roman amphitheater from the second century BC.
Then swiftly headed to one of my favorite staples in Paris, La Fromagerie (a cheese shop). We tried so many amazing French cheeses and got to hear about cheese history, legends, laws, and so much more.
Next, we walked a short distance to a blind tasting of French sparkling wine and Champagne led by an award-winning sommelier. Will you be able to tell the difference?
After getting our fill of bubbles, we head to a Parisian bistro that specializes in natural winemaking, heritage techniques and forgotten grapes, with a little salty snack for some added pep in our step.
Last, we all got a spot in the neighborhood bistro in the heart of the Sorbonne (a world-renowned university in the Latin Quarter established in the 13th century).
We sampled some delicious French red wine, escargot, and then, after the tour, the group all hung out another few hours talking, eating, and drinking.
It was truly one of the most epic first days in Paris that I've ever had!
