Begin your private morning adventure on the elegant Île Saint-Louis, a peaceful, seventeenth-century island that feels like a timeless village in the center of Paris.  Sit down to enjoy an elite artisanal breakfast. Savor an exceptional espresso or a thick, traditional hot chocolate, paired with a perfectly flaky croissant made with prestigious Isigny butter. Experience a true tartine—freshly baked baguette spread with world-class raw-milk churned butter and gourmet fruit preserves. While you indulge, your guide will bring the island’s aristocratic history and secrets to life.  Next, cross the bridge onto Île de la Cité, the ancient birthplace of Paris. Stand before the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, learning about its incredible medieval architecture and its grand resurrection. Walk past the colorful flower market and the grim towers of the Conciergerie, where Marie-Antoinette spent her final days.  To balance the sweet morning flavors, visit a passionate local fromager (cheesemonger) for an exclusive boutique cheese tasting. Learn how to properly taste and select French cheeses as you sample matured gems, such as a creamy Brie de Meaux or a rich, aged mountain Comté.  Finally, take a gentle stroll along the historic banks of the Seine, watching the famous bouquinistes open their green book stalls. Conclude your morning in the spectacular Cour Napoléon, right in front of the world-famous Louvre Pyramide.
