Virginie was absolutely lovely, as our host. We enjoyed all 5 food stops, walked through 3 different markets, had some lovely wine and learned a little about everything. We ended down by the tourism center and Cannes theater steps. I had no idea they were so close to the port center. The only down side was it got a little hard to hear when we stopped in the markets, just because it was so busy.
Vrginie is a wonderful, warm guide. She took us through the market and provided us with excellent information specific to French delicacies, and demonstrated expert knowledge of foods we loved to learn about and try!
One of a kind opportunity to explore the markets with a knowledge chef that has relationships with May of the vendors. We were able to taste local olives, cheese, and specialty items at the market and at a few restaurants.
This was advertised as a goody tour but the food was not very good at all. Also they said it included a glass of wine but it was just a small taste. There were 10 of us and they poured the wine and still had slightly more than half of the bottle left? Not a glass of wine. The guide was good but the food was very poor.
My husband and I took the Ooh La La tour of the Marché Forville with Virginie and had a wonderful morning! Virginie was very friendly and so knowledgable about french cuisine! We got to learn what was in season, and sample different bites from local vendors. Everything was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this to any foodies visiting Cannes.
It was wonderful! I learned so much about the food and culture of Cannes. Virginie was awesome! She shared recipes for the produce we saw and we sampled so many delicious items. I would highly recommend joining her on this tour but don’t eat before and expect to take home the best experience!
My mother and I got lost trying to find the initial meeting spot and Virginie waited for us!! We were so relieved. The tour keeps you right on the Main Street and up a couple allies to show you what and where the locals eat. The market is amazing and I could have spent hours there. Virginie has a passion for local food and culture that you can see and feel AND TASTE during your time with her. Our group was super small but all the better to ask questions and learn more about her and her life in France. She is very personable and polite and was a pleasure to spend time with during our very short stop in Cannes. The only suggestion I would have is that she had one of those microphones that attaches to a speaker clipped on her belt. She was very soft spoken and with the strong French accent I missed some dialogue but I would 100% do this again. I bet the croissant tour she does is amazing too! Thank you Virginie!
Virginie is an excellent guide. She introduced us to the food and produce of Cannes. Our food allergies were accommodated with grace. The tour provides a unique opportunity to see Cannes and its people.
Fabulous tour with Virginie. Excellent tours of markets and delicious samples and delights. Learned much about the Riviera food scene and delicacies. Highly, highly recommended! Would definitely take another of her tours again if I’m ever in Cannes! Wonderful!

The walking food tour that I took with Virginie was a highlight of my stay in Cannes. Virginie is highly knowledgeable about food and wine, with an emphasis on regional specialities that is her passion. We visited two open air markets and several purveyors, collecting a variety of items and discussing how and where production occurs and how ingredients are used in the local cuisine. Our ramble ended at an intimate wine bar where we were allowed to spread our ample acquisitions and pair them with a glass of local rose wine. Yumm! She taught me how to identify flavor notes in the wine using small bottles of scent in a collection called Le Nez du Vin (The Nose of the Wine). She made it a little guessing game and it was such fun! Note: Virginie had a budget from which our picnic items were purchased. In addition to reaping the benefit of her education and skills, I found Virginie to be an entirely charming, thoughtful guide and a great ambassador for her city. I highly recommend this experience.
The tour was excellent. We had delicious food from small vendors with local dishes. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this tour.
This tour is a must do. Our guides name was Virginie and not only was she very knowledgeable about the food and its origins she also took us to the food markets where we tried endless street foods and samples from vendors. Everything was delicious and we ended at a very cute restaurant where she explained the Rosé we had and why she paired it with the food we had on the tour. And when we thought it was over she surprised us with a delicious dessert which is native to the region. This tour was a 10/10
We had a super nice walk through the weekly markets of Cannes in the center with tasting of regional specialties and final tasting of things we had collected along the way. Our German speaking guide entertained us well. The stalls visited had some delicacies in store.
