5.00Our tour guide Amy was very knowledgeable. She started off by talking about the history of the market before expertly guiding us through the many stalls stopping to have tastings and purchase items for us to consume later. Part way though we stopped for a pastry, coffee and traditional bread. We finished at a wine stall where we tried local sparkling white wine and a local red wine whilst consuming charcuterie, cheeses, bread, fruit finishing with a delicious pastry. Absolutely brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant for food lovers

5.00Great information about local food and the history of the market. Expertly guided by Amy round the market whilst gathering items to eat for lunch. Mid way though you stop for a pastry so we were glad we skipped breakfast. Fabulous products, expert guide. Highly recommended. Could not fault anything above and beyond expectations. We love Toulouse.
A foodie’s unmissable immersion into French culture!
