- Near rue de la Petite Fusterie and close to the historic cardinal palaces, we will visit a passion-driven local shop. In this historic area, you will taste a pure, artisanal olive oil and a beautiful lavender honey that captures the essence of our summers, along with a few pieces of aged cheeses (tastings subject to season and availability). [Ultimate Tour Only] While our afternoon guests enjoy the essentials, the Ultimate Tour opens the heavy doors of a confidential, 18th-century private mansion. In this majestic setting, you will participate in an exclusive, private olive oil masterclass led by a renowned expert, discovering rare vintage pressings and limited-edition lavender elixirs unavailable to the public.

[Ultimate Tour Only] We elevate this market stop into a true VIP gastronomic safari. Skip the crowds as we sit down at a private, reserved table inside the market's most prestigious artisanal corner. You will be served a generous gourmet feast of rare, long-aged local charcuterie and premium seafood delicacies, lavishly paired with a Grand Cru wine selected by a top sommelier.

[Ultimate Tour Only] For our Ultimate guests, the Gothic splendor of Saint-Pierre is paired with true culinary nobility. We step away from the open streets into a private courtyard to experience a dedicated trilogy of rare, small-batch regional cheeses, paired with an exceptional, highly-rated Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine served in fine crystal glasses.

Rue de la RepubliqueNear rue de la République and close to the Lapidaire Museum, sit down for a traditional, relaxing meal. Designed in the 19th century to connect the city, this grand avenue runs past a historic 17th-century Jesuit chapel.
