The gourmet break. A simple and warm atmosphere for this coffee shop whose name, Vanim, is Anthony's surname in Chinese. The latter, as good at cooking as in drinks, offers specialty coffees whose origins change regularly, served as an espresso or latte (vegetable milk option), as well as non-caffeinated drinks (matcha, chai, tea, infusions...). Home-made pastries (cookies, cinnamon rolls, brownies...) and savory offerings (sando-type sandwiches, quiches, fine pies...) come in handy. Accessible sockets and free wifi allow you to work with complete peace of mind.

Prepare a fresh, local meal. This greengrocer, which has delighted the people of Aix for more than 10 years, renews its stalls more than three times a week with fruits and vegetables mainly produced within a radius of 150 km. A beautiful grocery department completes the offer with cheeses, charcuteries, olives, wines, meats, olives, wines, juices, jams, cookies, chocolates, teas, herbal teas..., and everything comes in generous platters to share, on order — special mention for the anchoiade-raw vegetables and nicely cut fruits. Broad organic range and anti-waste commitment. A boon for professionals as well as for individuals!

The bistro spirit in the heart of the village. Elsa and Alexandre met at the Domaine de Manville, in Baux-de-Provence. She was training in sommelier — a retraining —, he was in charge of the bistro. Together, in April 2025, they opened this restaurant in the heart of old Saint-Rémy, calling on their friend Riccardo, second in the Michelin-starred restaurant in Manville, for the cuisine. Its Italian origin colors the Provençal and Mediterranean menu of Envies. Needless to say that the products are fresh and in season: that goes without saying!

Provençal sweetness without folklore. Jérôme Orlandini, a former English teacher, opened a first restaurant in Saint-Rémy before moving to this charming square, which adjoins the Hotel de Sade Archaeological Museum. As for the stoves, the chef and his team sail from Provence to the Maghreb, via Italy or Lebanon, developing fresh and refined Mediterranean cuisine based on typical products of the region: sardines from the big blue, colorful vegetables from the market, small spelt from Haute Provence, goat cheeses from the Alpilles...

The pleasure of coffee designed for everyone. Café Yoyo is first and foremost an excellent coffee shop that focuses on specialty coffees, roasted by hand in the region, and other perfectly made drinks: “ceremony” grade matcha, chai, infusions... To satisfy small (and big) hungers, homemade pastries are enriched with a new salty range. The set is organic and suitable for all diets. The plus: with its playground and reading corner, the place is kids friendly: families are welcome! Corner shop full of carefully selected products.

The good taste of craftsmanship. In this village bakery and pastry shop, everything is homemade, even the pretzels! At its head, Sarah Bayart returned to the bakery business in the early 2000s, after a career in international trade. His passion for yeast dough and good eating can be felt everywhere: breads made during long fermentation to promote aromas and digestibility, but also pure butter pastries, cakes, sandwiches and other salty or sweet delights.

Popcorns in the spirit of bakery and pastry. Claire's great-great-grandfather, co-founder of Madame Popcorn, invented the professional popcorn machine in Chicago... in 1885! This brilliant tinkerer, named Charles Cretors, passed on to his descendants a stubborn passion for handmade popcorn. Mushroom corn kernels, which burst into round and crunchy clouds, are produced daily in a small on-site workshop and filled with caramel, dried fruits, spices, spices, cheese and other raw ingredients. It's fresh, it's beautiful and it smells good, a thousand miles from the serial sweets in the industry.

Eco-responsible fashion and a radiant welcome. In the heart of the village of Fuveau, this charming consignment shop, which has just been renovated vigorously, offers a sharp selection of second-hand clothing for women and teens. The magic has been happening since 2016 thanks to Malou, an outstanding consultant who, after working in the world of luxury, takes care of trends, seasons and the development of her clients. You can also find in store: jewelry or handmade bags, decorative items and other accessories from local designers. A feminine, intimate and joyful cocoon for all styles and budgets.

Support authentic local beekeeping. Butinarello, which means “forager” in Provençal, is the name of the honey house of Quentin and Caroline, two young beekeepers harvesting whose honey and hive products (royal jelly, propolis, fresh pollen) are organic. Their model? Pastoral beekeeping, which consists in having the hives transhumed according to the flowers and the seasons, from the Côte Bleue to the Luberon. We love raw honeys with perfect traceability: labeled “IGP Miel de Provence”, they reflect the terroirs and flora harvested by bees.

Petit-déjeuner, déjeuner ou goûter ! Entre coffee shop et cantine de saison, ce lieu hybride a été ouvert par deux sœurs, Marie et Pauline, pour partager leur joie de vivre et leur passion du bon. La première est barista et prépare ses cafés de spécialité en extraction douce (V60), la seconde est cuisinière et pâtissière de métier, aussi à l’aise en salé qu’en sucré. Tout est travaillé avec les produits du moment, y compris le café qui change au fil des récoltes. Ne manquez pas les cookies, cannelés et tartes aux fruits, ainsi que les excellents petits plats du midi. Kids et work friendly.

An intimate and gourmet urban café. The word cáscara refers to both the dried bark of the coffee cherry and the shell in Spanish, a nice metaphor for the cocooning spirit of the place. Sonia offers specialty coffee, tea, matcha latte and other hot drinks, or cold depending on the season (don't miss her summery homemade lemonade). For hunger, she concocts travel pastries with a vegan option (cakes, thyme madeleines, cookies...) and fruity or regressive smoothies (we love the banana, dark chocolate and peanut butter recipe). Nomad workers welcome.

The taste and the ambiance. This is the story of three friends who, after using the school benches in Lambesc together, met to create a canteen and coffee shop concept in the center of the village in 2023. From breakfast to lunchtime cooking to the cookies and cakes for afternoon tea, everything is homemade! The happy trio is there out of passion: Lilian, the cook, went through international trade, Elsa, the barista, worked as an engineer, and Nina, who launched the initiative and is in charge of communication, is an osteopath. A charming place where you eat and drink well, who could say better?

Feeling like a chef. For more than fifty years, Morcrette has been Ali Baba's cave of tableware for all food lovers. The vast store space — no less than 200 m² — combines cookware and pastry utensils, cooking equipment, cooking equipment, logs, logs, carafes, jugs, coffee makers, teapots, robots and other small household appliances. In case of doubt, a competent team is there to provide advice. Customers say it: at Morcrette, when you look, you find!

Opened at the end of 2023 in the Granettes countryside by the Roys, who already own Gaodina, this cozy restaurant focuses on the conviviality of bistronomic cuisine and the freshness of a short and seasonal menu.

In town, enjoy Italian ice cream from a craftsman from the Pays d'Aix. For the Casalini brothers, gluttony is a family story that began in 1962 when Giorgio opened an ice cream bar in Tuscany.

He combines authentic cuisine of pleasure, between brasserie classics — beef tartare is worth a visit — and traditional dishes: pasta, curries, rougails, risottos... Everything is fresh and seasonal. Warm atmosphere inside and a very pleasant Ginguette-style terrace in summer, for this address off the beaten track.

The elegance of the wines and the setting of this place steeped in history since 1118! Long closed to the public, this 12th century wine estate^E Century has come back to life ever since
the arrival in 2021 of Jean-Marc and Wendy Gobbi, the new owners. The castle is a former priory surrounded by 13 ha of vineyards and olive trees
and lavenders. Between natural splendors, bare stones, Romanesque chapel and paved courtyard, the site has a crazy charm! The vineyard, located in the Luberon Regional Natural Park, has regained its letters of nobility: racy and fruity reds, fine and long-lasting rosés, floral and acidic whites.

‍

Traditional wines and olive oils. On the sunny terraces and hillsides of southern Luberon, this vineyard was founded in 1998 by Louis-Michel Brémond, agricultural engineer and oenologist, within the family farm property. The vines, managed with respect for the natural environment and cultivated organically since 2008, produce wines of great finesse that fully express the land. On the oil side, 600 olive trees, mainly of the Aglandau variety, share with the vineyard the sweetness of this enchanting site.

The art of roasting. Mathieu Taborcia is certainly a chocolate maker — and what a chocolate maker! —, but also a roaster. His shop, established in the village of Lambesc, is one of the few in Provence to offer bean-to-bar chocolate, an expression that means “from the bean to the bar”: he works with different origins of cocoa whose beans he roasts himself. However, if aromas begin to form during fermentation, it is this stage that gives chocolate its characteristic taste. The craftsman's paw does the rest.

Calissons have a remarkable taste and finesse. Founded in 1874 by a Swiss confectioner, Maison Parli, a venerable institution in Aix, celebrates its 151st anniversary^E year in 2025. Her secret? Full control of the calissons manufacturing cycle, which begins with the confection of the fruits, on site, using ancestral methods. The dough, rich in almonds and sweetened with fruit syrup, is ground with ancient granite rolls that preserve the texture of the ingredients. In 2022, 3,000 almond trees were planted on 10 ha cultivated organically in Ventabren, reflecting the company's desire for permanent improvement.
