THE TOUR

Marseille’s old town is raw, colorful, and full of stories. You’ll walk through its narrow alleys, past spice stalls and old stone façades, tasting your way through a part of the city that still feels deeply lived-in.

We start sweet and simple: breakfast at a historic pâtisserie that’s been shaping local pastries for generations. Expect flaky, buttery classics and a few unexpected favorites, all made from scratch.

As you wander deeper into the neighborhood, you’ll visit tucked-away corners—a centuries-old pharmacy where you’ll smell Provence in the form of dried herbs and infused oils, and a hardware shop that’s been open longer than most countries have existed.

Midway through, it’s time to sit down. You’ll be welcomed into a beloved Marseille bistro where everything is seasonal, homemade, and rooted in French culinary tradition. From onion soup dripping with Comté to Mediterranean fish cooked over flame, this is the kind of place that lets the food do the talking.

We wrap up with a rooftop surprise and a taste of something sweet—and yes, there’s more wine.
