• Rue de la Paroisse - Begin your journey with a warm, freshly baked brioche from Northern France: le Cramique. Savor it while admiring the city’s oldest church.
• Place du Marche Notre-Dame - Next, wander through the lively and historic covered farmers’ market. Start with a tasting of seasonal fruits like strawberries, cherries, or figs, depending on what’s in season.
• Carré à la Viande - Visit the charcutier and bakery next door to collect freshly sliced cured meats, jambons, terrines de campagne, and a baguette.
• Place du Marche Notre-Dame - Head to a favorite fromagerie, where a cheese platter will be freshly prepared. As you watch, your guide and the artisans will share insights into the rich history of French cheeses and the diverse terroirs that influence their flavors.

• Le Potager du Roi - Just a few steps away, enter the King’s Vegetable Garden. Created by Louis XIV’s botanist, this often-overlooked garden supplied the palace with fruits and vegetables for over a century.
