A family enterprise since 1957, this boot-making company earned the coveted status of Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (living heritage company) as the last shoemaker offering authentic boots for the famous Camargue cowboys, les Gardians. Aside from some chic cowboy-esque models, there are stylish and durable full-length fashion boots and booties, suede and leather chukka boots, supersoft espadrilles, and strappy sandals, all made from supple vegetable-tanned calf from the same tanner that supplies Hermès.

Maire Duchêne, an independent perfumer trained in Grasse, the world capital of perfumes, dreamed of creating fragrances that would capture the essence of Arles and its beautiful surroundings. In 2012 her dream came true in this jewel of a boutique where her five sensuous perfumes evoke the spirit of Arles in a mix of citrus and pink peppercorn, the Camargue in notes of vetiver and amber, and Les Baux in lemon and white flowers. Her sublime smelling soaps and candles make for heady mementos of Provence.

Aix's most famous purveyor of calissons, with their signature diamond-shape box, has kept up with the times, offering an assortment of the delicate almond pastries in gourmet flavors and enticing colors along with the white-frosted classic. Within the shop, you'll also find fruit syrups, biscuits, cakes, nougats, and a variety of other beautifully packaged candies that are perfect for gifts. The Rue Gaston de Saporta location is the flagship, but their wonderful museum just outside the city center (5380 Route d’Avignon) delves into the history and making of this historic sweet and is well worth a visit.

Much more than just a sweets shop, this historical confiseur dates back to 1866 and is in its fifth generation of family ownership on the same St-Rémy premises. Makers of the famous Provençal calisson, an almond-shape marzipan confection, as well as a gorgeous array of candied fruits—including everything from cherries and strawberries to kiwis, fennel, and even whole pumpkins—from a recipe credited to Nostradamus (a native son). There are also fruit syrups, jams, chocolates, and regional honey. A tour of the factory and a stop in the beautiful boutique make for a highly pleasurable hour or two.

This producer of fine local olive oils is an excellent place to learn how top-quality AOC (controlled origin) olive oils are made, from picking and pressing to blending and bottling. Free tours and tastings (in English) are a must when in this olive oil-rich region, and this is the best place to get a feel for why its renowned oils—some made from fermented black olives while most oils are made with only green olives—end up at the tables of some of the best restaurants in France.
