Description

Discover Provence from a new angle with an exciting day trip between Marseille and Aix-en-Provence. Your adventure begins in Marseille, the city of many faces. From the emblematic Vieux-Port, where fishing boats mingle with modern yachts, you'll plunge into the fascinating history of this thousand-year-old city. Around every corner, Marseille reveals a unique blend of Mediterranean influences, between historic monuments, dynamic street art and living traditions. A climb up to the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the sparkling sea. The narrow streets of the Panier district will transport you to another time, with their colorful facades, artisan workshops and secret squares. After a morning rich in discoveries, head for Aix-en-Provence, a city of elegance and charm. Here, the atmosphere changes: the cobbled, shady streets of Aix invite you to stroll, while the gilded facades of the townhouses tell the story of a history steeped in art and culture. Follow in Cézanne's footsteps, discover the landscapes that inspired him so much, and admire the refined architecture for which Aix is renowned. With its babbling fountains, colorful Provencal markets and lively cafés, Aix reveals an art of living that begs to be shared. Throughout the day, our passionate guides will help you discover the little stories and well-kept secrets of these two emblematic towns. A complete immersion that combines sea and countryside, culture and relaxation, enriched by tastings of local specialties and unmissable stops in the most authentic places.
