Farmers market tour
Overview
Here's an example of a review of the tour:
"Had a really great tour of marché Richelme with Edouard, right in the old town of Aix. Edouard asked me what foods I was most interested in and we went to the different stands accordingly. I was after some good jam so Edouard made sure i was able to sample Christophe’s 60% fruit homemade selection. My personal « péché mignon » being cheese, the tour was fantastic (at least 5 or 6 different stands to choose from and.... oh my god that fresh goat cheese!!!) - and i have to say that the surprise coming out of left field (and now a little favorite) was mushrooms.. It’s mushroom season (which i had not payed attention to, but since Edouard goes there every day, he knows !!) All round a great tour for people wishing to discover the southern french markets, or for those (like me) wishing to go on a local product shopping spree. Great tour!"

This was a great tour of the market. Edoard was friendly and knowledgeable. He added some history to the trip which we appreciated and was able to give us information on other things we were interested in.

I appreciated the ease that we moved around the markets, the time chosen eg. 9 am did mean that the actual market was quiet & not crowded. Loved the selection of fresh produce & being samples was an added bonus.

It was a pleasure meeting and touring with Edouard. He is very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. He went out of his way by purchasing apple cider so we could taste it.
