Overview

This Avignon French Culinary Walking Tour by Do Eat Better lasts three and a half hours and takes place in the old town of Avignon, France. A local English-speaking guide leads the group, explaining details about selected restaurants, their dishes, and local food traditions. The tour includes visits to two important landmarks: the Palace of the Popes and the Pont d'Avignon. It begins with a stop at the covered market, where participants learn about key ingredients of Provençal cuisine such as local olive oil and fresh vegetables. During lunch tours, guests taste a slice of pissaladière, an onion tart with anchovies and olives. For dinner tours, the experience starts with a Provençal aperitif consisting of local wine paired with cheeses or spreads. The group then walks along Rue de la République to a local restaurant to try roasted cheese with honey. The tour continues to Place des Corps Saints, a historic square dating back to Roman times, where guests enjoy homemade cake made with fresh regional fruit. Near the Pont Saint-Benezet, a boutique offers tastings of honey, jam, and flavored biscuits, connecting the food experience to the medieval history of the 12th-century bridge. Water, meals, alcoholic beverages, and the English-speaking guide are included. Gratuities and any additional food or drinks are not included.
