About this activity

Explore Paris's most exclusive open-air market in the upscale 16th arrondissement, just steps from the Eiffel Tower, with an expert guide unveiling premium seafood, artisanal cheeses, and produce that locals queue for twice weekly. This 2-hour experience combines market discovery with tastings at beloved neighbourhood establishments and a panoramic Eiffel Tower vista.

Come and discover one of the most luxurious open-air markets in all of Paris, a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower! The Marché du Président Wilson, surrounded by embassies, high-class apartments and museums, is known for having some of the best products in the entire city. Only occurring on Wednesdays and Saturdays, this market has a reputation for being one of the city's finest; and locals eagerly await the rest of the week to be able to do their shopping there.   

Accompanied by our knowledgeable guide, you will be able to see an incredible selection of seafood, pastries, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, breads, and much more.
