Tour di degustazione per piccoli gruppi del mercato Victor Hugo di Tolosa

Wonderful experience with our guide Ally. She explained the history and culture of the market and the trends of going back to whole and natural foods. It is fascinating to see the reality of meat production and the utilization of all parts of the animal. We started with morning with a cappuccino and chocolatine, sampled some dried meats and the local treat of candied violets. Ended the tour with bottles of red and white wine and samples of our treats gathered along the tour. Thank you for this wonderful state of Toulouse

This tour takes you through the vibrant Marché Victor Hugo, where you discover a wonderful variety of fresh ingredients, all passionately explained by our guide, Ally. The origins and history of the products, as well as typical French traditions and customs, are all brought to life with enthusiasm and knowledge. Thank you, Ally, for this wonderful tour! Highly recommended! Andrea

Wonderful Market Tour with Danielle We had a fantastic experience on the Victor Hugo Market tour with our guide, Danielle. She was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and super friendly throughout the tour. Her enthusiasm and expertise made the experience both enjoyable and informative, and we learned so much about the market and local food. We highly recommend this tour, and especially Danielle as a guide. A wonderful experience from start to finish!

An excellant insight into the culinary delights of toulouse and local history. Jessica the guide was highly knowledgable and worked very hard to tell us everything she knew and obviously answered all our questions. Highly recommended

If you wish to explore the Market culture in France then I recommend the” Taste of Toulouse” tour of the Victor Hugo Marché in Toulouse. An enjoyable way to experience one of the oldest markets in France, while sampling the produce and learning of its origin. The guide Jenn made the tour very enjoyable and insightful

Ally was a great guide to the market. She knows a lot about food, about Toulouse, and about the vendors in the market. She did a wonderful job of engaging with all of us and explaining what we were tasting. I would recommend the tour with no recommendations.

Jenn gave us an outstanding tour of the market on a very hot day in July. (She even had cooling towels to help beat the heat). She explained the MOF designation, the idea of terroir and modern day French culture. We feasted on several specialties from the market along with generous servings of excellent wine. We enjoyed the best dessert-the Paris-Toulouse Brest with Violet is not to be missed! All of this was inside the market so we avoided the worst of the heat. Jenn gave great recommendations to further enhance our time here. I’d recommend Jenn to anyone and I’d also recommend booking the tour early in your stay so you can take advantage of Jenn’s advice.

Allie was an excellent host and the small group of 4 of us really hit it off, though we were from varied parts of the US. The history and story telling was great and the food and wine were awesome!

Tania our tour guide was so enthusiastic and accommodating everyone in the group. She provided us with a voluminous assortment of food samples. We even got wine with our cheese sampling. I highly recommend this tour and Tania.

Tania was fantastic! It ended up just being my spouse and I for the experience. She shared so much helpful information regarding the market and the various types of foods and drinks available. It was our second day in Toulouse and was nice to get a well rounded tour of their specialties there in one place. We enjoyed a coffee/juice-bring cash for the drink, but it's very inexpensive. All other areas accepted card. We also enjoyed a delicious baguette and chocolatine (choc. croissant). It's frustrating how much the US charges for bread vs here. We later tried some some aged/dried meats, foie gras, wine, cherries, and cheeses. We enjoyed a crystallized violet that was quite interesting but tasty. She also sends you all the information about what we tried during the tour and other recommendations in Toulouse. It was a wonderful tour and highly recommend!
