While it may not be possible to travel abroad these days, we offer an alternative solution: join MOFAD and internationally acclaimed global food tour company Culinary Backstreets for an online guided tour of Marseille’s diverse neighborhoods, bite by bite.

Join Alexis Steinman, Culinary Backstreets’s Marseille Bureau Chief, for a virtual guided tour of some of this multicultural port city’s most intriguing neighborhoods and their classic food shops and producers. As Alexis walks us through some of her favorite places, we’ll recreate the traditional early evening apéro, taste exquisite Provençal snacks and sweets and learn about the fascinating history of Marseille’s neighborhood culinary culture and how it’s faring during these difficult times.

We are no longer selling “Taste of Marseille” boxes with tickets, but you can still order them directly from Culinary Backstreets HERE.

 *Please note this event is from 6-7pm EST and will be held over zoom.

ALEXIS STEINMAN

A storyteller by trade, journalist Alexis Steinman loves sharing the tales of Marseille in her articles and on the food walks she leads for Culinary Backstreets. When not writing about Foreign Legion veterans-turned-winemakers or translating for the Provence tourist office, Alexis roams the backstreets of Marseille to uncover the 2600-year-old city’s treasures, one bite at a time.
