About this tour
Spend three hours wandering through Aix-en-Provence's markets and independent shops, tasting your way through the region's producers. You'll start with something sweet, then move into savoury tastings at Place Richelme and beyond—meeting cheesemakers, beekeepers, and truffle specialists along the way. Each visit reveals the story behind what you're eating. Finish with a proper drink and pastry at a local favourite. No two tours taste quite the same, given what's in season.

What to expect
You'll be on your feet for the full three hours, moving between small producers and market stalls in the old town. The guide stops frequently to introduce you to people actually making the food—expect to taste as you go rather than sit down for formal meals. Breakfast kicks things off with something sweet, then you'll move through savoury offerings. Depending on the season, what's available shifts; summer might bring different honey and produce than autumn. The walk wraps with a proper sitting-down moment—a drink and something sweet at a place locals actually go to.
