What to expect

Kick off your day the local way - with a cup of coffee, sunshine on your skin, and the taste of Provençal delights at every turn. Marseille's old town is raw, colourful, and full of stories. You'll walk through its narrow alleys, past spice stalls and old stone façades, sampling the flavours of a part of the city that still feels authentically lived-in.

Your culinary journey begins with breakfast at a historic pâtisserie that has been crafting local pastries for generations. Expect to savour both flaky, buttery classics and some surprising favourites, all freshly made from scratch. Next, you'll elevate your experience - quite literally. A rooftop stop awaits, where you can sip on a glass of local nectar while taking in views that bring the entire city into perspective.

As you delve deeper into the old town, surrounded by the aromas and spices of the Mediterranean, you'll visit a tucked-away apothecary that's centuries old. Here, the scents of Provence fill the air: dried herbs, infused oils, and remedies unchanged for two hundred years. Then, a selection of local finger foods awaits, honest bites that Marseille perfected long before it was recognised as a foodie destination. You'll also sample rosé wine, ending your tour with the subtle flavours of the Provençal countryside.
