What to expect

A guided stroll through Aix-en-Provence's compact centre, stopping at four carefully chosen food shops and restaurants. Your guide—someone who knows the city's kitchens and producers—will introduce each tasting and explain how each product fits into the region's food story. Expect small portions across multiple stops rather than full meals. You'll taste, listen, and move at an easy pace. The group typically numbers between 6–12 people.
