Cannes Ooh La La Croissant Tasting Tour

About this tour

A two-hour morning walk through Cannes with a local food guide, stopping at the city's best boulangeries to taste artisan croissants—both sweet and savoury varieties baked fresh daily. You'll pair each pastry with your choice of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice or water whilst taking in views of the old town and Mediterranean coastline. The route covers roughly one hour of easy walking, threading through charming streets where you'll learn how Cannes' top pastry chefs approach their craft.

Highlights

• Taste multiple croissant styles from top-rated local bakeries
• Walk past iconic old city landmarks and sea views
• Included beverage with each tasting stop
• Bilingual guide shares baking techniques and local knowledge
• Stroller-friendly, under one hour of walking total
• Children under 12 join free (drinks and samples available separately)

What to expect

Expect a relaxed pace through pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods, pausing at three or four independent boulangeries where the guide introduces you to the baker or pastry chef and describes what makes each croissant distinct. You'll sample warm pastries straight from the oven, noticing texture, lamination, and flavour profiles across traditional butter croissants and regional variations. The guide points out architectural details and local history as you move between stops. Most of the route is flat, though one steep section has around ten steps—manageable but worth noting if you're pushing a stroller.

Good to know

Wear comfortable walking shoes. Arrive early if you're a cruise passenger (Cannes is a tender port). Groups of six or more may qualify for semi-private timing at no extra cost—message ahead to check availability. Kids under 12 don't pay but don't receive tastings; you can share your pastries with them. Pastry selection varies by season and daily availability.
