Description
Come into our home in Marseille and spend an evening with our family, as if you had been invited to the home of local friends.
We live in the Bompard district, in the hills of Marseille, about a 30-minute walk from the Old Port (15 minutes by public transport), in a residential area between the sea and the basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde.
We'll start with a French aperitif, that convivial moment that brings families and friends together before dinner. Over a drink and some local specialties, we'll get to know each other and talk about your trip, Marseille, and what you'd like to discover.
We will then sit down to share a seasonal family dinner. More than just a meal, you'll discover the little habits and traditions that punctuate a French dinner: the way of sharing dishes, bread and cheese, the pace of the meal and, of course, the importance of conversation around the table.
Over the course of the evening, we will also share our personal perspective on Provence. Tell us about your itinerary, and we can suggest places, local customs and ideas tailored to your way of traveling.
We'll finish with dessert and coffee, taking some time to chat about French life, Marseille, travel and anything else you'd like to ask a local friend.
This is neither a restaurant nor a cooking class. This is a chance to step through the door of a real French home, meet a local family and experience a small slice of everyday life in Marseille.
