About this tour

What to expect
Your guide meets you in the old town and takes you on foot to independent food shops, small producers, and neighbourhood spots where regulars actually go. You'll taste properly made cassoulet, sample creamy aligot, and understand why duck matters so much here. Between tastings, your guide shares oddities and history about how these dishes came to be. It's a working lunch spread across three and a half hours—you'll eat well and walk it off. Expect narrow cobbled streets, some stairs, and plenty of conversation about why this corner of France takes its food seriously.
