About this tour
This call is a planning session for Noailles, one of the busiest and most varied markets in the city. We go through which stalls are worth seeking out this week and which days tend to be calmer than others. It is built for someone who wants to visit well rather than walk in without a plan.
We open with a quick chat about what you are hoping to find, then go stall by stall based on what I have seen there recently. You can ask about anything specific, and I will work it into the list. By the end you have a short written list of stalls to look for.
This suits anyone planning their own visit to Noailles and wanting local knowledge first. It also suits someone nervous about a busier market who wants a plan before going.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
Itinerary
-
Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Marseille, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Planning your Noailles visit 17 min
We go through which stalls at Marché des Capucins are worth the walk this week, from spice sellers to the panisse stand, and I check which days each is busiest. You leave the call with a short list of stalls and what to look for.
-
Your questions 5 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in Paris time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Marseille: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
- This one is a video call, not a walk. We go through the market together and I answer questions as they come up.
