What to expect
You'll start at the morning market, where stalls overflow with regional produce and flavourings—this is where locals actually shop. Your guide points out what's worth tasting and why certain items define Provençal cooking. You'll move through the old city, pausing at fountains and lesser-known corners, hearing anecdotes tied to the place's artistic heritage. In the afternoon, if the market has closed, you'll pivot to tasting local cheeses, cured meats and either crêpes or waffles. Rosé wine ties the tastings together. The pace is relaxed; there's time to photograph and absorb.
