You will then explore in-season produce, French meat cuts, and locally sourced fish, and immerse yourself in the art of shopping like a French chef, acquiring the most exquisite ingredients.

We will then enter the covered farmer's market Art Deco building imagined by French architecte Henri Bret and continue our gourmet trip with the finest Provencal street foods like zucchini flower fritters, and our famous savory chickpea crepe with black pepper cooked in a traditional flame oven.

Following a delightful but busy stroll through the farmer's market, the French often retreat to a charming nearby bar for a convivial glass of wine with friends before indulging in a homemade lunch. This cherished ritual, known as "l'Apéro," embodies the art of savoring life's simple pleasures. Immerse yourself in the refined yet inviting French lifestyle by tasting a glass of elegantly chilled Provençal rosé wine, perfectly complemented by a luscious olive spread atop a crispy, golden toast.
