We’re told that putting on your best trainers for this event is useless. Instead, you’ll have to fasten the buttons on your trousers, which are likely to pop off after a proper Raclette Tour. On the program: a 3-hour experiment in the quintessence of melted cheese.
Rendezvous on a Tuesday or a Sunday according to the availability at Aux Marmottes in the Châtelet district to begin the culinary festivities. In groups of 8 maximum and in a Savoyard decor with its giant mascot, a plush-marmotte perched on its chairlift, the choice will be of quality: cheese and potatoes as much as you like, charcuterie and cornichons to keep with tradition. We are also told that the products will be so tasty because of their high quality. Not included in the Raclette Tour is the wine, which will be extra.
Save your stomach because the tour is not over yet. After this sumptuous meal, next stop: a Swiss cheese chalet just a stone’s throw from the BHV Marais, where you absolutely must bite into the melted cheese sandwich, elected as the speciality at this tavern with dishes dripping with pleasure. A free mulled wine will be served at the interval before announcing the closing ceremony with dessert. Aux Deux Canelés will then take over and put the cherry on the cake with sweet treats without suspense: canelés.
As you should not confuse speed with haste, although the kick-off has been given, it is still possible to register during this journey of good taste, as this marathon ends on 27th of March. The registration fee is 55 euros per person and per date. It is of course possible to grant yourself a round 2, if the experience has left such a mark on your stomach that it wants more!
