Description

I like to do what the French do, start the day with coffee! We’ll meet at the best barista in town before heading into the market. I’ll introduce you to the vendors and share stories and interesting facts about the seasonal products on offer.

Along the way, I’ll add a touch of history to give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of what’s around you. You’ll be encouraged to sample free tastings, and I’ll help you pick out local, sustainable gifts for your loved ones. Want to make a packed lunch? No problem. Craving roast chicken? Even better. Got a sweet tooth? I’ll take you down “Diabetic Alley.”

While you’re soaking in the atmosphere, I’ll capture a few candid moments with my camera and share the photos with you afterwards. The tour lasts about an hour, enough time to enjoy at a relaxed pace and still return to your favorite vendors before the market closes.

Take your time, like the locals do, and get a true insight into Provençal life. With (almost) guaranteed sunshine, the market is always buzzing. See you on the tour soon!
