Our Signature Farmers Market & Food Shop Tour : 9.30 am to 12.30 – The best way the discover the town through your tastebuds
Sample “Afternoon Delights Tour” : 2:00 – 4:00pm – reserved for sweet tooths!
Skip your dessert at lunch and come along to the most historic pastry shop for tiny treats, to hear the story of the famous « Calisson » town candy, a stop for artisanal chocolate and a fascinating visit of modern baking methods at a colorful macaron shop. Your taste buds will be delighted with tastings at each food producer, followed by a typically French coffee or hot chocolate at one of the local’s favorite places.
Thirsty for an « Apéritif »?
Do as the locals and enjoy a pre-dinner activity, gathering a few savoury items to taste alongside some Provence wine before heading to your selected restaurant. We’ll guide you on a mini version of our signature food tour, collecting fresh bread, artisanal cheese and hams along the way, chatting about the city’s history and stories as we go. After visits to the “boulangerie” and “fromagerie” and other food merchants, we’ll arrive at the “caviste”, or wine shop or locals’ café during “Aperitif” hour. We’ll perch at the counter with a regional vintage, hand selected by our friendly wine merchant, and learn about the most popular wine in Provence, “rosé”. It’s always magical at the end of the day in Southern France and we’ll make sure you kick off your evening with the perfect pairing of food & wine, during what locals call “Apéro Hour”.
