Great tour of Avignon! - We loved our food tour of Avignon. Our guide Zahra was fun and very informed, as she led us through the streets of Avignon, and showed us hidden and historical sites. We tasted olives and artichoke tapenade at Les Halles, candy and sweets at Maison Bremond 1830 and had a wonderful lunch (with an amazing eggplant flan) at La Table Hot. If this wasn't enough, we finished up with a decadent caramel pastry tart at Violette. Highly recommended!
