Today we will discover 3 different places for a perfect combination and introduction to Southeast of France, a sweet balance between history, lifestyle and beautiful
scenery. So get ready, fasten your seat belt and let yourself float away!! Love, Simon

Departure also possible from Toulon.

1 - AIX EN PROVENCE

As we wander through the lively streets, you’ll feel the rhythm of Aix-en-Provence come alive. From one fountain to the next, we’ll explore hidden squares, colorful markets, and sun-filled avenues lined with plane trees. Our walk naturally brings us to the famous Cours Mirabeau, once a prestigious promenade for nobles and aristocrats. Expect spontaneous stops, local stories, and plenty of photo moments along the way. The aromas of fresh produce and coffee drift through the air, cafés buzz with conversation, and Provence reveals itself step by step. Don’t miss the stunning Saint-Sauveur Cathedral, whose layers of architecture tell centuries of Aix’s story — a city built on Roman foundations. This is more than a walking tour it’s a joyful experience to share, laugh, and create memories together in the heart of Paul Cézanne’s city.

2 - CASSIS

Feeling a bit peckish? Ok! It’s time to head to Cassis, a charming fishing village by the sea, where you can enjoy some free time for lunch and, of course, try the local white wine THE specialty! (Not me, unfortunately… I’m your captain…) As we explore, you’ll fall in love with the colorful harbor, small boutiques, and pastel houses that have welcomed sailors and artists for centuries. Next, we’ll drive along the breathtaking Route des Crêtes (Road on the Crest), a scenic road hugging the cliffs, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the Parc National des Calanques below. We’ll then reach the top of Cap Canaille for a family photo with a spectacular view  just don’t get too close to the edge… I’m
starting to like you guys!

3 - MARSEILLE

We’ll leave Cassis and head to Marseille our last stop for a spectacular panoramic drive through the city before reaching the iconic Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica. Founded by the Greeks in 600 BC, Marseille is France’s oldest city — and its rich history is everywhere! From our panoramic viewpoint at the Basilica, the city spreads out before your eyes: the bustling Old Port with its colorful fishing boats, the stunning La Major Cathedral, the historic Le Panier neighborhood — also called “the basket” and the famous Olympique de Marseille stadium. All of this, and more, can be admired with the sparkling Mediterranean as a breathtaking backdrop, perfect for photos and unforgettable memories. Always a good opportunity to pray… and help the local football team win!
