You meet under the cathedral's soaring spire while the Ill River threads through the quarter, daring you to follow its quays to hidden kitchens and bakeries. The first scent is wood-fired tarte flambée; the second, a warm kougelhopf still dusted with sugar. This six‑hour walking tour moves at a measured city-pace — a string of tastings punctuated by tight alleys, timbered façades and riverside benches.
