OK, de stad Avignon is vooral bekend door het imposante Pauzenpaleis midden in het centrum. Het is gebouwd in de 14e eeuw en staat sinds 1995 op de UNESCO wereld erfgoed-lijst, maar dit is waarschijnlijk niet de reden waarom je op deze pagina beland bent. Dus, laten we het over eten hebben! 

Avignon is de hoofdstad van de Rhone-vallei met betrekking tot wijn en is omringd door the capital of the Rhone Valley when it comes to wine and surrounded by producers of tomatoes, honey, tapenade, olive oil and French pastries. In the center of the city we will find many bakeries, restaurants, foodshops, all of them with their very own specialties and recipes. We will be tasting all of these and much more during our Avignon foodtour. 

So, come and stroll through the ancient streets of Avignon with me, Renie. We will make several stops and taste various foods and snacks. And I will tell you all about the French way of living! What do families eat during the day? How important are the traditions and holidays? What kind of food is being served during Christmas? What is the typical Mediterranean diet?

We will also visit a French market with local producers selling their fruit and vegetables, herbs and spices, fish, shellfish and meat. We will taste various delicious jams at a typical 'épicerie fine' and have a full meal with a main course and a desert. This desert will be a typical French pastry, that you can choose yourself. I will even include a little French lesson, but don't worry, it is all for fun!
