Enjoyed the guide who was very friendly and likable. We picked out what we wanted for lunch at a local food market which focused on fresh fruit in season, an abundance of cheese, some dried meats (we skipped the fresh horse) and the like. Visited a local bakery for fresh baguettes and then went to the grounds of a castle (via subway) where we enjoyed our picnic on a blanket with beverage of our choice. .
Really enjoyed this authentic market experience! Milan showed helped us navigate a local market, taught us some helpful French phrases, and showed us around a neighborhood we probably wouldn’t have otherwise visited. Check out this tour if you like to get off the beaten track and enjoy some locally sourced food!
