Aix-en-Provence Food Tour – A Full French Meal by Do Eat Better

About this tour

Walk through Aix-en-Provence's old town with a local guide who unpacks the story behind each stop on this 3.5-hour culinary journey. You'll taste your way through truffle products, cured meats paired with local wine, a classic croque monsieur featuring the region's prized ingredient, and finish at a historic pastry shop. By the end, you've eaten a full meal across four venues without sitting down once.

What to expect

Expect a leisurely three-and-a-half-hour amble through Aix's cobbled streets, stopping at hand-picked venues rather than formal restaurants. Your guide will contextualise what you're eating—the history of these dishes, how they're made, why locals return. You'll stand and taste, not sit and dine. The pace is social and unhurried; plenty of time for questions. One included drink comes early on; non-alcoholic options exist throughout. By the final pastry stop, you'll have consumed what adds up to a proper meal, spread across four tastings.
