TOUR SUMMARY
The Bastille area is historically known as the place where the French revolution started. Only locals know that it is also the former artisanal district and a favorite place for Parisians to have an afterwork "apéro" or start a perfect night out.
This tour provides an insight into the lifestyle of a middle-class Parisian, in which you'll learn about old and new trades, the most beloved wine bars and bistros, and one of the most popular markets in town—not forgetting that you'll also get to cross a spectacular and well-hidden elevated park where there won't be a tourist in sight.
INCLUDED
• A selection of typical snack foods including farmer’s cheese
• A Parisian beer to go with the treats from the Aligre market
• A responsible glass of wine
