Nestled at the entrance to the Alpilles, the estate bought by the Oddo family in 2015 covers an area of 72 ha: 45 ha of vines, 10 ha of olive trees and 23 ha of woods and garrigue. Here you can taste their wines: A.O.P. Côteaux-d'Aix-en-Provence in 3 colors, I.G.P. Alpilles. Also their A.O.P. Vallée-des-Baux-de-Provence olive oil and wines from their other estates in Sicily, South Africa and Sancerre. The estate offers a reception room for hire with terrace.

Brousse du Rove, mature goat cheese and olive oil, these are the good organic products that you will find at the farm of the Borel family -Sandrine and François- who have optimized the 150 HA of their farm located on the hills of La Roque d'Anthéron. About a hundred goats from the Rove (a rustic goat breed originating from the Bouches du Rhône) graze freely all year long. Two gîtes with the Accueil Paysan label to stay and discover the daily life of a farm.

Installed around the Cloister, this agroecological farm covers 2 hectares and is the second operating site of the Paysan Urbain in France. Two main activities are developed there: on the one hand, the cultivation of microfoams and aromatic herbs, and on the other hand, an ecological vocation to raise awareness of environmental preservation, especially for schoolchildren. The microfoots, grown organically and without pesticides, are used to decorate the dishes of the region's restaurant owners, in a short circuit of course. Dill, basil, mustard, mizuna, arugula and pak choi: here we give time to cultivate. Numerous workshops for "greening" and exchanges between generations.

A recent cheese shop with a team of connoisseurs at your service. In addition to a delicatessen corner where you can buy wines and jams, you will find all kinds of cheeses from all over France. Cow, sheep or goat milk, raw or pasteurized, let yourself be tempted. We really like the layout without counter or display case, which allows you to get closer to the cheeses and smell them. This is definitely a great place to go when you are in Marseille, especially to discover the cheeses of the region.

A fine new address for cheese lovers. Stéphane and Thomas - the young team at the helm of the cheese shop - are bon vivants, and bon vivants means good humor. But that doesn't mean they can't take their expertise seriously when it comes to selecting the cheeses displayed in their brand-new showcases. From Saint-Nectaire direct from Auvergne, to truffled Brie, creamy Chabichou from Poitou, sublime farmhouse Camembert, Grès from Provence, 18-month-aged Comté, Tomme aux Fleurs and cow's milk yoghurts made in Normandy. And where there's good cheese, there's good wine, so the 2 compères have put together a small selection of bottles from here and abroad.

This institution closed its doors on rue Espariat but returns to the market of the Place de la Madeleine, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for the greatest happiness of the inhabitants of Aix!

Quality and service are at the rendezvous, as the queue indicates. A sure value!

Since 2004, Manon has been growing biodynamic vegetables and fruit in Eguilles and selling them at the Aix and Puyricard markets every week. With her laying hens, she added greenhouses and left for Sicily to be in direct contact with organic citrus growers. In 2017, not content with meeting her customers through conferences, she developed a system of self-composed baskets, direct from producer to consumer. In her store, you'll also find a range of organic spices to spice up all your recipes, a delicatessen section with soups and jams, and a fresh produce section (her father's Vaucluse goat's cheese). Good and beautiful!

Pierre-François Terrat is one of the best winemakers in the Coteaux d'Aix appellation. His rosé Les Béates is of a rare power and can accompany meat dishes without any problem. Anything but a thirst-quenching wine. In a lighter range, the cuvée Les Béatilles is pleasant to drink. We appreciate the very reasonable prices considering the quality. The Béates vineyard covers 53 hectares of the best land in Lambesc. The Béates were nuns who, in the 16th century, went from village to village to teach children to read and write.

Steven Giroud was still a student when he set up his craft brewery in 2015. Since then, Aixpression has made a name for itself on the tables of even the finest restaurants in the Aix region. His beers are fine and elegant, white, blond, russet or brown, aromatic without being sophisticated, they are made from Champagne yeast.

The Boucherie des Prêcheurs has taken over from the Boucherie du Palais, offering meat and poultry in a new, spacious space. The stall is tempting, with an emphasis on small, committed breeders and short distribution channels. For meat lovers, there's a fine range of matured meats, leg of lamb and skewers for BBQs. The butchers who serve you are experts in cutting and preparing meat. In the adjoining lab, a young chef prepares seasonal delicatessen dishes on a daily basis - headless larks, feet and packages, snout salad, small stuffings... - and in the rotisserie, we tempt you with farmhouse poultry for your Sunday lunches.

Alexandre and have taken up the torch in the same spirit: from meats and poultry, to local charcuterie, rotisserie and delicatessen, to the gourmet store, everything is guaranteed "quality from fork to fork" and always carefully selected from recognized breeders. Lamb from Sisteron, black pork from Bigorre, beef from Limousin, charcuterie from Lyon and also from Alsace, Burgundy and the Loire.

There's a long queue, but no time is wasted: the magnificent display is sure to tantalize the taste buds, and the customer is king!

Confiserie d'Entrecasteaux is one of the oldest calissons factories in Aix. Founded in 1889 and acquired in 2013 by Irène and Serge Evans, the factory has moved from the rue d'Entrecasteaux in Aix to the Halles 1889 in Eguilles, in a setting dedicated to gastronomy. The workshop is visible from the store, which is a veritable gourmet showcase for the calissons.

A few kilometers from Aix, the Petit Janet mill was established in November 2012 under the impetus of Sébastien Lézaud, in the heart of the Côtes chain in Lambesc; the last oil mill in this area had closed in 1956 after the terrible devastating frost. Son and grandson of a farmer, Sébastien, a wine and cereal grower, is passionately committed to his domain as an olive grower, producing two oils with an intense green fruity taste, but also as a miller for the inhabitants of Lambesc who own a few olive trees.

Eating five fruits and vegetables a day? The question doesn't even arise when you enter the Jardin des Alpilles.

With an exceptional range of products, all presented in pretty wicker baskets or in wooden crates. An authentic side that can be found in the always smiling reception. A real favorite!

At Domaine de Vautubière in Coudoux, the Gaubens family cultivates 7 hectares of organic and PDO olive trees, vines and almond trees. Their olives, traditionally crushed at the Moulin de Coudoux cooperative, produce a quality olive oil that has won numerous awards. Composed of 95% Aglandau and Salonenque varieties and 5% ancient olive varieties, this lightly fruity sweetness holds the prestigious AOP Huile d'Aix-en-Provence label.

Since January 2020, Marseille has had its own local dairy! It is to Audrey and Madeleine that we owe this initiative, two cheese enthusiasts who have made their ranges in the 4 corners of the country. The principle is simple and new: making cheese in the city. The milk is transported from local cooperatives and transformed into succulent cheeses and yoghurts in the laboratory overlooking the shop. A nice way to be able to buy in a (more than) short circuit. Taste and texture are at the rendezvous on the cow's side as well as on the ewe's or goat's side

A rather confidential little wine shop, not at all visible on social networks but a real good advice for lovers of good wine.
