What to expect
Expect a leisurely three-hour meander on foot, stopping frequently. Your guide will unlock shop doors to introduce you to people who've spent years perfecting their craft—whether that's charcuterie, cheese, pastry or wine. This isn't a rushed tasting menu; it's about standing in real working spaces, asking questions, and understanding why locals choose these places. Bring comfortable shoes and an appetite. The route covers manageable distances through older quarters, but moderate fitness helps you keep pace without strain.
