Montorgueil, the charm of a market street - 2 hours*
A neighbourhood caught between tradition & hipsters, Montorgueil is a trendy part of town. The area revolves around a food market, with artisans & merchants : butchers, bakers (and even a candlestick maker!) as well as fish mongers, florists...
The small winding streets around the market have beautifully restored mansions from the 17th & 18th centuries, many are Historic Monuments.
In addition to learning about the history of the area, we will do several tastings : cheese & wine, pastries & baked goods.
