You meet in front of Café Le Pierrot as the city unwraps itself: a soft light over the Champ de Mars, the Eiffel Tower casting a long, architectural shadow while vendors arrange cheeses and pastries. The guide—brought up in this neighborhood—moves at a steady, local pace, steering the group through two open-air markets where smells and textures map Parisian taste: cured saucisson, dense duck rillette, shards of meringue, and the rum-soaked Baba that predates many modern culinary fads.
