What to expect
You'll spend three hours on your feet walking neighbourhood streets and market aisles, pausing at small shops and stalls where producers explain their work. Each stop includes a tasting—expect cheese, charcuterie, bread, wine, and other Bordeaux staples. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a rushed tick-box tour. Your guide (often multilingual) handles the introductions and context. Bring a notebook if you want producer names and recommendations. The market itself is lively on Saturday mornings, crowded with locals doing weekly shopping.
