WELCOME TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE!

A gastronomic tour for those who dream about experiencing the wonderful cuisine and culinary traditions of this area like a local. The South of France is as layered as it is beautiful: ancient roots, medieval influence, Provençal pace of life, and a landscape stitched with vines, olive trees, and the wildly aromatic garrigue. 

From seafood freshly plucked from the Mediterranean to brightly colored produce in village markets to strolls through perfectly preserved Roman ruins, this corner of France is a paradise for curious foodies, devout wine lovers, and history buffs alike. 

Join Piéton Market Tours and Mouths of Babes for an unforgettable journey through time and a feast for the senses!

ITINERARY

DAY 1:  FRIDAY, MAY 14th

Arrival & Welcome Dinner

Welcome to the Midi—and to the wonderful ancient Roman town of Nîmes. We'll meet you at the Gare (train station) upon arrival and head straight to our private Mas, a refurbished classic stone farmhouse. (Don't worry—we'll circle back to Nîmes later in the week to explore its markets and monuments.) 

You'll have plenty of time to get settled into your room. Then, we'll get better acquainted with each other and our Chef over a tasty collection of local cheeses, wines, and Provençal bites before gathering for a relaxed welcome dinner.
