Wonderful Market Tour

We met Chef Allison on our first full day in Paris. While we were expecting a market tour, I wasn’t expecting her to give us so much history about the area and little tips about searching for the best places to buy food and wine. She is very knowledgeable while also being approachable. We bought fruits and veggies at the market, sampled cheeses, and found the perfect wine to pair with our meal. I love that we began our trip with Allison because it gave us the confidence and information to navigate the market, cheese, and wine shops to gather food for picnics throughout the rest of the trip. To anyone wondering if it would be worth it… she definitely is!
