What to expect
You meet your official guide and start moving through Aix's centre on foot. The pace is leisurely; you're not rushing between photo spots. At the farmers market, your guide explains what's in season and why locals queue for certain stalls. You'll pop into a functioning wine cellar to see how the region's wines are stored and sold, with room to ask about the local varieties. The cathedral visit is quieter and less crowded than you'd expect, giving space to absorb its scale. Throughout, your guide weaves in stories about the city's Roman past, its role as a seat of power, and how it's changed. You'll finish with a shortlist of places to eat that aren't in the standard guidebooks.
