About this tour

What to expect
You'll be collected in your own air-conditioned vehicle and driven through Provence's countryside toward Aix, where tree-lined streets and ochre-hued facades set the tone. Your guide navigates the town's historic centre on foot, pointing out architectural gems at whatever pace suits you. The route then winds south toward Cassis, a working fishing port nestled beneath dramatic white limestone cliffs. There's time to wander the waterfront, grab lunch (your own choice of restaurants), or simply sit with coffee and watch boats bob in the harbour. The driver handles all logistics and timing, eliminating the usual shore-tour stress.
Good to know
Lunch is not included—Cassis and Aix both offer excellent local restaurants. Wear comfortable shoes for walking older town centres. The itinerary is fully flexible; discuss priorities with your driver beforehand. Service animals are welcome.
