Amazing way to spend a day in Paris! - Wow what an amazing day. We started with introductions and a light breakfast of croissants and coffee before heading to the local open air market. Paulo's knowledge and passion for food and the integrity of ingredients and produce was clear and very informative, I learnt so much about produce origins to cooking techniques that I can take home and apply when cooking for everyday and special occasions. The menu and wines were the best I have had in Paris so far! The whole Le Foodist team were so very welcoming and friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere with a great group of travellers. I would definitely recommend Le Foodist to anyone travelling to Paris and looking for an activity that combines French culture, food and hospitality. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Best, best, best!! - This Seine river cruise is fabulous. This was our second time doing this cruise and I’ll do it every time I’m in Paris. We had the most delicious, beautifully presented gourmet lunch and enjoyed the wine and lovey scenery. The staff are always so welcoming and accommodating. We love that it ends at the Eiffel Tower and we can go sit on the banks of the Seine and relax and enjoy.

A worthwhile experience if you like cooking or even Parisian food - This class is so much fun! Hands on and educational. Chef Frederic took us through the steps, from our shopping at the market, to prep and then cooking to make delicious lunch. He spent time explaining the some of the "whys" behind what we were doing. It is a class that all levels can take something away while learning to cook Parisian food.
