One Day in Provence - Town & Sea
Aix-en-Provence & Cassis - Full Day
Due to the success of our 'One Day in Provence - Town & Country Tour' we are now pleased to offer a 'One Day in Provence - Town & Sea' Tour - a lovely mix of history, traditions, culture, fun and stunning coastal views.
This full day tour begins with a morning historical walking tour of Aix-en-Provence ,a charming traditional town steeped in history dating back to Roman times. The tour includes a visit to the traditional local food market and a description of Cezanne's life in the town.
After a 40 minute drive we will arrive in the beautiful fishing village of Cassis in time for lunch in one of the wonderful fish restaurants situated on the port. Cassis is nestled at the base of gentle rolling hills nurturing vineyards which produce a high quality white wine which partners perfectly with local fish dishes.
After lunch we will take a boat trip to visit 3 calanques - rocky inlets - followed by a road trip over the famous Cap Canaille to see breathtaking scenery of the Mediterranean coast.
Full Day Tour
Price: €205 per person (non-private tour) €330 per person (private tour)
Testimonial: One Day in Provence - Town & Sea Tour
After a tour of the eastern boringders of France, we went to Aix-en-Provence for a restful finish to our vacation. However, we appreciate the knowledge and expertise of a good local guide and arranged for a full day with Sarah at Discover Provence. Our tour began with a walking tour of Aix where we visited both the "modern" and medieval sides of town and enjoyed the contrast in the architecture and organization of both. We visited the interiors cathedral and a restored home. Local markets and a pastry shop provided snacks along the walk! We then were driven to Cassis to enjoy a delicious fish lunch at a dockside restaurant and a boat trip to three of the famous callanques. The final visit to Cap Canaille with its beautiful vista was a perfect finish. Lots of photo opportunities and well informed conversation made this a terrific day! Sarah was a prepared and professional guide in every way.
