Excellent learning experience with Chef Alex in Mouffetard Market area and his restaurant where we had our separate space to learn about cheese and wines of France and try several types. Alex is very informative and shared many facts and places and is a strong advocate of local farming to table cuisine and the French way to slow down and enjoy dining with friends. We highly recommend this tour and tasting.
