Description of the game
A “gourmet walking rally” consists of following a pedestrian itinerary in Paris to discover food shops or historic places related to French gastronomy, such as old restaurants, historical grocery stores, traditional cafes…
The mission is to discover all the facets of Paris: historical, cultural, architectural and gastronomic, in a fun way..
During this Food lover’s treasure hunt through Paris, the participants will learn about famous French Chefs, traditional recipes, but also the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF), culinary innovations, the latest pastry trends…
Program
At the start of the rally, each group will be divided according to a theme and a district will be allocated to it. Participants will receive a “road book” including the itinerary to follow, a presentation of each shops and anecdotes about the tastings. The vendors will welcome the participants in the shops and challenge them with funny questions to test their food knowledge and “deserve” their tastings.
Shops and tastings
Each group will have a different itinerary in Paris. However, each group will visit from 4 to 6 shops depending on the duration of the rally: traditional pastries (Ex: Stöhrer), Meilleur Ouvriers de France (MOF) cheese makers, butchers, chocolate makers, pastry chefs … shops of famous Chefs (Ex : Alain Ducasse, Pierre Hermé, Cyril Lignac, Christophe Michalak), old cafes. .
The selection of tastings depends on several criteria: profile of participants, duration of the activity, the availability of products according to the season. Our goal is to offer a good balance to satisfy the appetite of the greediest and to delight the palate of the most curious.
