Activity itinerary

Place de l’Horloge (Pass by)

Our culinary journey begins at Place de l'Horloge, the vibrant and historic heart of the city. Here, you will meet your expert guide to start this exclusive immersion into the true Provençal art de vivre. [Ultimate Tour Only] Exclusively on our morning journey, your immersion begins with a private welcoming touch at a hidden, upscale venue. Here, you will enjoy a curated introduction to the secrets of French elegance, paired with an elite tasting of an ancestral, rare regional liqueur to set the tone for a truly bespoke, luxury day.

Rue de la Petite Fusterie (Pass by)

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.

Les Halles d'Avignon

10m
Admission ticket included

Near Les Halles d'Avignon and close to the Saint-Jean Tower, we will dive into the local food market. Inside this lively historic landmark, you will enjoy an authentic, crispy local 'pissaladière' (onion tart) paired with a fine glass of Rhône Valley wine (subject to season and availability). [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.

Place Saint-Pierre

Near Place Saint-Pierre and close to the stunning Gothic Church, we will stop to celebrate true craftsmanship. In the heart of these ancient streets, you will taste rich, traditional tapenades (black olive and sun-dried tomatoes) on golden croutons, some of the best olives in France, and a trilogy of regional cheeses (tastings subject to season and availability). [Ultimate Tour Only] For our Ultimate guests, the Gothic splendour 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 Republique

15m
Admission ticket included

Near 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. Far from the tourist crowds, you will enjoy a refined lunch featuring a beautiful vegetable Tarte Tatin followed by a perfectly creamy Crème Brûlée, paired with a glass of specially selected local wine. Our seasonal menu is subject to change based on daily availability. [Ultimate Tour Only] This stop represents the absolute pinnacle of our luxury culinary journey. Instead of a standard break, you will enjoy a prestigious, multi-course traditional French sit-down lunch. Every dish is a masterpiece of local gastronomy, custom-prepared for you using elite seasonal ingredients, and perfectly paired with old-vintage Rhône Valley wines.

Rocher des Doms

Near Rocher des Doms and close to the Notre-Dame des Doms Cathedral, enjoy a panoramic walk. As the actual cradle of Avignon where prehistoric tribes first settled, this rocky spur stands next to the Romanesque cathedral built in the 12th century. Overlooking the river and the famous Avignon Bridge, you will taste iconic Provençal sweets, including traditional 'calissons' and exceptional artisanal nougat, subject to season and availability. [Ultimate Tour Only] On this historic rock, the Ultimate experience takes a beautifully artistic turn. We unlock access to a private panoramic viewpoint for an intimate sensory workshop. You will indulge in a premium chocolate pairing—combining rare, single-origin dark chocolates with aged sweet nectars—while exploring the deep historical geography of the region in absolute privacy.

Palais des Papes

Near the Palais des Papes and close to the medieval city walls, we will enjoy a premium wine tasting. As the world's largest Gothic palace, this fortress was built in the 14th century and served as the magnificent seat of Western Christianity. In this majestic area, you will taste an exceptional wine served in fine crystal glasses that enhance every aroma to reveal the true quality of the product, subject to seasonal availability. [Ultimate Tour Only] This majestic final wine experience is significantly expanded for the Ultimate Tour. Guided by a true sommelier, you will enjoy a private, private-jet style tasting of three legendary local labels. Served in flawless crystal, this elite flight is accompanied by ultra-premium, handmade savoury delicacies that perfectly highlight the majestic papal history surrounding you.

Place Saint-Didier

Near Place Saint-Didier and close to the Saint-Didier Church, we will end our journey beautifully. This peaceful square centers around a beautiful example of 14th-century Provençal Gothic architecture built to host sacred relics. In this charming, shaded square, you will enjoy a high-quality espresso paired with a traditional crispy, sweet 'oreillette' pastry, perfectly wrapping up your 3-hour immersion into the local lifestyle, with final treats subject to season and availability. [Ultimate Tour Only] We conclude this 5+ hour bespoke journey beautifully in a shaded, private corner of the square. Beyond the traditional espresso and sweet 'oreillette' pastry, our Ultimate guests receive a final, exclusive surprise: a masterclass introduction to rare, local artisanal fragrances and a special, hand-wrapped gourmet gift from Zahra's private collection to take home.

Rue Bouquerie

[Ultimate Tour Only] “Exclusively on our morning journey, we venture into the historic upscale district of Avignon's old nobility. Far from the main thoroughfares, this curated stop immerses you in the absolute secrets of French elegance. We will unlock the doors of a confidential artisan boutique or a private antique gallery, offering a sophisticated cultural decoding of Provençal style and a rare opportunity to discover unique, high-end creations completely hidden from the public eye.”

Rue Banasterie

[Ultimate Tour Only] “Reserved solely for our Ultimate guests, this stop uncovers the deepest layers of Avignon's ancient history. We step inside a magnificent private property to marvel at hidden, preserved architectural and archaeological remnants that reveal the city's rich Roman foundations. It is an intimate, privileged look at our heritage, far away from tourist crowds, where history is shared like a private secret.
