This foodie tour will delight your mouth while giving you a fascinating insight into the local cuisine and wine culture of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. You’ll also learn more about our local history. Your expert will take you on a tour of some of these producers as you stroll through the Place des Lices market* under the centuries-old plane trees, where you’ll smell the Provençal spices and herbs that go into the recipe for the famous bouillabaisse or ratatouille.

Did you know that before being one of the most famous villages in the world, Saint-Tropez was a small fishing village in the Mediterranean? Saint-Tropez is also the home of a recipe kept secret since the early 20th century called the Tarte Tropézienne, thanks to Brigitte Bardot.

You can also sample nougat, olives and goat’s cheese … You’ll also pass through the Place aux Herbes and the fish market, where Saint-Tropez’s freshest and most delicious fish are sold every day under the eye of Poseidon on a well-arranged stall.

Before the experience comes to an end, you’ll enjoy a well-deserved drink break, whether it’s a coffee or a glass of rosé, which goes very well with the local pastry: the tarte Tropézienne. You can also try the famous Baby’Trop*.

*Invented by a Polish baker who has lived in the village since 1952, this brioche pastry filled with vanilla cream is to die for and not to be missed in Saint-Tropez.

Take a guided tour of the Saint-Tropez market and sample a Tarte Tropézienne baby’trop with a hot drink or a glass of Cuvée la Tarte Tropézienne rosé wine.

What the press says about the Market tour 📰

 

“Wander Saint-Tropez’ pretty streets, ole the super yachts, visit the town’s iconic tower and best of all, discover the local history through its food on a Gourmet tour with Beyond The Wine. Follow in the footsteps of your guide Sonia, a specialist in local produce, to discover the delicious surprises she has selected for you. At the marke, piles of vegetables and fruit look like still life paintings. The smell of truffled Brie, and of 36-month-old goat cheese made by writer, poet and legendary farmer Loïc de Saleneuve, and of garlic infused olives, chestnut spread and nougat, assails your senses.

You can’t visit Saint-Tropez and not eat a Tarte Tropézienne and the tour includes a stop at the mythical pâtisserie where the cake was born and where Tartes of every size and flavour are displayed like jewels in a cabinet. Enjoy a glass of local pale rosé. Resistance is futile.”
