About this tour
A 2.5-hour guided food tour through Aix-en-Provence that steers clear of tourist-packed zones and heads straight for neighbourhood gems. Your guide introduces you to working local markets, regional produce, and the people behind Provençal cooking—moving through quiet streets to land at spots locals actually eat. Expect real flavours: anchovy paste, almond biscuits, lavender gelato, garlic mayonnaise. Works equally well whether you cook at home or you're just after good eating.

What to expect
You'll spend two and a half hours on foot through quieter corners of Aix, stopping at neighbourhood food stalls, small shops, and casual eating spots. Your guide handles introductions and shares context about each tasting—what it is, why it matters locally, how it's made. Expect to eat and drink steadily: savoury pastes, fresh nuts, cold sweets, regional specialities. The pace is unhurried. You're moving between stops but not rushing. Streets are mostly level and walkable; the group stays tight.
