Description
Come hungry and discover Antibes one delicious bite at a time.
This immersive Antibes food tour takes you beyond the usual sightseeing route and into the flavours, aromas and traditions of Provence. With a local guide, explore the colourful Marché Provençal, wander the charming streets of Old Antibes and the Safranier district, meet the culinary traditions of local artisans and enjoy a generous selection of authentic French and Provençal tastings.
Begin at the legendary Marché Provençal, the culinary heart of Old Antibes. Discover the colourful stalls filled with olives, tapenade, olive oil, seasonal produce, cheeses, herbs and other Mediterranean specialties while learning how locals shop and cook.
Taste some of the Riviera's most iconic specialities, including fresh socca, the crispy chickpea flatbread traditionally enjoyed hot with black pepper, and pissaladière, a Provençal classic made with slowly cooked onions, olives and anchovies. Depending on the season and artisan availability, you may also discover traditional breads and other regional bakery specialties.
One of the highlights is a relaxed French wine and artisan cheese tasting. Sample carefully selected French and Provençal wines alongside artisan cheeses while learning about French terroir, regional flavours and simple food-and-wine pairing. Non-alcoholic alternatives are available for guests who do not drink alcohol.
Between tastings, stroll through the atmospheric lanes of Old Antibes and the Safranier district. Hear stories of fishermen, market traders, artists and writers who have shaped the city, including famous figures drawn to Antibes over the years.
Your culinary journey ends on a sweet note with fine chocolate or French pâtisserie, inspired by the exceptional craftsmanship of Antibes' renowned pastry and chocolate artisans. Depending on availability, the final tasting may feature chocolate, praline, hazelnut, citrus, seasonal Mediterranean fruit or beautifully crafted pâtisserie.
The exact tastings may vary according to the season, market and daily artisan production. That's part of what makes the experience special: rather than following a rigid menu, you taste what is fresh, local and at its best.
This is more than a food tasting. It's a chance to taste Antibes, meet its culinary traditions and experience the French art de vivre.
