Paris's Inaugural Food Truck Festival at the Eiffel Tower Base

Organized by Track the Truck—the go-to website and app for finding food trucks nearby—Paris's first food truck festival lit up Quai Branly along the Seine until July 12, 2017. Curators handpicked 30 of the city's top trucks, each boasting unique specialties, with about 10 rotating daily. A true paradise for food lovers.

A Feast for Every Palate

This festival delivered affordable, high-quality eats in a stunning setting between the Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro. Free admission led to a vibrant synthetic turf walkway lined with communal tables, where aromas from the day's 10 trucks mingled enticingly. Perfect for groups—no menu debates, just pick your favorites and dine casually together. Billed as a gluttony's delight, prices ranged from 10-15 euros, whisking diners across France with oysters, moules frites, Southwest duck, and beyond—plus global flavors like Canadian poutine, Venezuelan arepas, Thai curries, Lebanese mezze, burgers, pizzas, bagels, wraps, and waffles. Sweet tooth? Mojitos and dessert stands rounded out this idyllic spot. The only challenge: choosing what to try first!
