Recent market tours in Paris that are kid friendly?

We are taking our 10 and 11 year olds to Paris for spring break the first week of March and the kids really want to do a food market tour that’s family friendly (although wine for the parents and aunt would be a big bonus!) Everything I’ve found has older reviews. Has anyone done one recently? I’ve been to Paris a lot but haven’t ever done one. My daughter, the oldest, has been once and loves anything cheese, bread, or chocolate. My son will eat anything that’s in front of him (so will Dad). We are staying in the 7th this time but we will probably be on Rue Cler every day anyway so it definitely doesn’t have to be there but it can be if there’s any recommendations. I’ve always thought there were better market streets elsewhere so we are fine with venturing out. Thanks for any recommendations!

I'm not sure if you mean a guided tour or not. But definitely check out Marche Respail in the 6th. If it's good enough for Ina Garten, it's good enough for your kids. I think it's Tuesday & Friday, then all organic on Sunday, but research to see if that is current operation.

I have no idea if there are guided tours.

I should have specified that. Definitely a guided tour. The kids love those. I’ll look it up. Thank you!

Take a look at "experiences" on AirBnB. You can designate the ages of folks in your group, so if a tour guide doesn't take kids, it shouldn't show up (although when I had an AirBnB, I was surprised when a couple brought a baby along, so be sure to ask the guide).
