About this tour
Spend two and a half hours eating your way through Aix-en-Provence with a local guide. Start with breakfast pastries, move through the city's markets (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays) sampling regional produce and street food, then taste wines paired with artisanal cheeses. You'll finish at the city's oldest patisserie, having tried calissons, pissaladière, black truffles, and whatever else the day's best producers have on offer. All drinks and snacks included.

What to expect
Your guide will lead you through Aix's eating culture starting with a proper French breakfast—flaky pastry and strong coffee. You'll walk to the markets on operating days, stopping at vendors for fresh tastes and chat. There's a structured wine-and-cheese moment mid-tour, then a truffle session that explains what you're tasting and why it matters. The pace is leisurely, designed for lingering and conversation rather than rushing. You'll end at a historic patisserie, the punctuation mark on a morning of genuine Provençal flavours. Depending on the day, your route shifts to capture whatever's best—a chocolatier here, a specialist baker there.
