About this tour
Learn Provençal cooking from Agnes, who grows almonds and herbs on her family farm near St. Rémy. Over three hours, you'll prepare and eat dishes rooted in her family's generations-old recipes, working with seasonal local ingredients. The session weaves in stories of Provence's landscape, people and traditions. Dietary requirements—vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free—are accommodated. Optional market visits on weekday mornings let you meet regional producers and select produce together.

What to expect
You'll arrive at Agnes's kitchen and begin preparing lunch or dinner using her family's tried recipes. She'll guide you through technique and ingredient choices, drawing on decades of family knowledge. Depending on the day, you might visit one of the nearby markets—St. Rémy, Fontvieille, Maussane or Eygalières—beforehand to select produce and meet farmers who supply her regularly. Back at the farm, you'll pick fresh rosemary, thyme, savory or oregano from the garden, then cook together. The meal itself is unhurried; you eat what you've prepared, with wine and coffee included. Conversation ranges from recipe origins to local life.
