Join this small group food tour in Marseille (Max. 8) to discover the diverse flavours, people and places that make this vibrant port city so irresistible.
Tour duration: approx. 5-6 hours (allow a full day to savour the experience!)
We’ll set sail from the Gare St. Charles train station where we will explore Marseille’s migratory history followed by a quick breakfast and a coffee. Navigating between neighbourhoods that stretch beyond the Vieux-Port, we’ll taste freshly baked feetir pastries in an Egyptian bakery in the Longchamp area. There will be Algerian bradj stuffed with dates in Noailles and Marseille’s signature boat-shaped biscuit, navettes, at a two-century-old café along the Canebiére, Marseille’s iconic main boulevard.
There will be several other stops in between- fresh local seafood, lemonade made by Tunisian Jews, Corsican charcuterie, and much more - each peppered with history and encounters with local people to reveal what makes this 2600-year-old port city tick.
To wrap up our day, we’ll settle into a local institution by the port and do like the Marseillais do with apèro, the traditional happy hour that is revered like a religion throughout the city.
