Nantes sur un plateau is the short Les Épicuriens walk in Nantes, ninety minutes from the cathedral to Place Royale over seven regional tastings.
Tip: Roughly thirty minutes of the ninety is spent walking, so the pace suits a morning before lunch rather than a full day out.
Nantes sensorielle is the long Les Épicuriens food tour of Nantes, five hours and fourteen tastings from a fine grocer to a chocolate maker.
