Taste Cannes is a small-group walking food tour run by Do Eat Better, a food-experience company that publishes guides to eating in Cannes and other destinations on its own website. The operator's start date is not stated in the sources checked, so how long it has been running is not given here. The tour covers the Old Town of Cannes, known as Le Suquet, on the French Riviera in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France, and the meeting point is confirmed at the time of booking. The walk lasts roughly three to three and a half hours and is built around a full meal spread across at least four stops. About thirty minutes of the route is spent inside the Marché Forville, the covered market on Rue du Marché Forville, where the guide introduces local produce, cheeses, cured meats and seasonal fruit and arranges tastings. Other stops are in the surrounding Old Town streets and can include bakeries, small restaurants and specialist food shops, balancing savoury Provençal and Riviera dishes with a sweet course. The price is published on the operator's booking page and should be confirmed there, as it is not stated in the sources checked. What is included is the food across the stops and the guided walk; drinks beyond those arranged by the operator, gratuities and travel to the meeting point are normally extra, so visitors should check the booking page for the exact inclusions. Group sizes are kept small, which lets the guide adapt the pace and answer questions about the cuisine of the French Riviera, from socca and pissaladière to fresh seafood and local olive oil. The route is on foot, with a modest climb into the Old Town streets and cobbled surfaces. Tours are conducted in English. Dietary needs such as vegetarian, pescatarian or allergy-related substitutions should be raised with the operator when booking so the stops can be planned in advance. The Marché Forville portion depends on the market trading, so the tour is best planned for a day it is open.

When to visit
Plan around a market day, as the Forville stop needs the market open; mornings are best, and spring and autumn are cooler than summer.
Accessibility
The Old Town has cobbled and sloping streets, so the walk may be demanding for some visitors. Anyone with mobility needs should discuss the route with the operator before booking.
