Irène, Your Host for a Sweet Walk in Paris
my story
Passionate about gastronomy since childhood, I am the author of Paris Gourmandises and have spent years exploring Paris’s finest bakeries and chocolate boutiques. Through my encounters with
talented chefs and artisans, I have gathered stories and delightful secrets that I love sharing with my guests.
Warm and welcoming by nature, I enjoy creating refined yet relaxed experiences where conversation, culture and indulgence come together. And for the first time in Paris, I launch the concept of sensory journeys, chocolate and perfumes.

A must for anyone who loves chocolate! Irene is very knowledgeable and shared valuable information about the best chocolatiers in Paris! She took us to taste some to the most interesting and delicious chocolates. We also tasted macaroons and the most wonderful hot chocolate

Irene was awesome and we loved exploring all of the places she took us. So many tasty chocolates and snacks and the discounts for purchasing more is awesome too. Also a very beautiful neighborhood to walk around. Highly recommend doing this while you’re in Paris!
Tanner
Irene gives a superb tour of a highly selective group of Parisien chocolate shops. She knows her stuff! The chocolate we tasted was truly unique and of excellent quality. She is a lovely warm person who we enjoyed spending the afternoon with. Hot chocolate at the end was to die for. Thank you!
Nicole
I thoroughly enjoyed the “Sweet Gourmet Walk” with Irène. She is a fountain of knowledge and a good conversationalist and I had a delightful walk around the neighborhood of St German des Pres, tasting goodies along the way.

The Marais is one of the most beautiful areas in Paris, and under Irène’s expert and friendly guidance we were able to discover it while avoiding the well-trodden paths – the patissiers and chocolatiers she took us to were just extraordinary!
Jennifer
We had an excellent time on our tour with Irene. She was very knowledgeable about the area and provided us with lots of information that we would not have otherwise known about. Her selection of locations was excellent- we enjoyed every place we went to. A fun way to spend an afternoon in Paris. We would highly recommend.
