What to expect
Your guide meets you early, before the city gets crowded. You'll move between three or four carefully chosen shops—the kind locals actually visit, not staged tourist stops. At each, you'll eat standing at the counter or find a quiet corner, eating as people do here: without fuss, with attention. The guide shares stories about each place: who's been running it, why that almond cake matters, how breakfast rituals have shaped Aix over centuries. Expect narrow streets, steep steps in places, and the pace of a proper walk rather than a hurried tick-box tour.
