Discover two cities, so close to each other but so different.
During the morning: guided tour of Aix en Provence.
The old capital of Provence has kept a great deal of the character imparted to it in the XVIIth and XVIIIth. The sober elegance of its mansions, the graceful charm of its squares, the majesty of its avenues and loveliness and its fountains are impressive.
You will love to stroll through the heart of the town, in the pedestrian old streets to discover the façades of the baroque ochre coloured private mansions. These dwellings were built for the nobility, each with a concept and style corresponding to the residents’ social importance. The city also boasts a wide variety of fountains. Aix is the “city of water, city of art”. Among other buildings of interest: the cathedral, the town hall, the Corn Exchange. Why not having a coffee at the terrace of one of the numerous cafes. Why not tasting a calisson cake with it, freshly made with almond pasta before continuing your visit in the narrow streets, full of tiny boutiques.
Possible shopping (full market on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday)
Lunch on your own in Cassis. If you want us to book Bouillabaisse lunch (local dish made on a wide variety of fishes and a fish stew), please ask us.
This little seaside resort is snuggled at the foot of a very tall cliff called Cap Canaille. Cassis is a wonderful place to stroll about with its picturesque fishing port lined with cafes and restaurants.
The fishing boats now share the harbor with yachts and a collection of tourist boats for visiting the “calanques”, a trip you shouldn’t miss (45 min to 1h30).
Between Marseille and Cassis the coast is broken up by these “calanques”, enticing fjord-like inlets lying between vertical white cliffs. The sight is fantastic. (Cruise not included)
From the panoramic road overlooking the bay of Cassis, we will stop to appreciate the fabulous landscape.
It is also possible to stop in a winery to taste the renowned Cassis white wine
