COME WITH US TO VISIT ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL REGION OF
FRANCE
Based in the heart of Provence, our company provides private day tours
from Marseille and surrounding cities.
Tours are organized
on request for
2 to 16 people or more and
are guided by profesional licensed guides approved by the French Ministry of Tourism, in English or Spanish (other languages on request).
Our aim is to make
you love PROVENCE, as we do.
The region has so much to offer that any one of you will
find what he looks for :
- an old heritage, from the roman buildings to the medieval
villages and fortresses...
- a rural life : magnificient farm houses, completed by pigeon
houses, stone cottages or huts, surrounded by gardens full
of fruit trees, vegetables and flowers...
- nice and pleasant cities such as Aix en Provence and Avignon...
- colourful markets beautifully laid out...
- fantastic seaside landscapes between Cassis and Marseille...
- picturesque countryside from the scrub lands to the olive
and fruit tree orchards...
- wild mountains and marshes
- off the beaten track paths
From its herb-scented hills
to its yacht-filled harbours, no other region of France
fires the imagination as strongly as Provence.
The vivid landscape and luminous light have inspired artists
and writers from Van Gogh to Picasso and from F. Scott Fitzgerald
to Pagnol.
What is
Provence? Officially, there is no French department
or administrative region with that name. Yet when you hear
the word, you think of oleanders, olives, and lavender.
You think of a slower pace of life, a Sunday lunch under
the shade of plane trees, a café crème at
a sidewalk café, or a long walk through a forest
of pine trees. You may even think of a village clinging
to the side of a mountain, a church tower with a wrought-iron
campanile where the mistral finds little obstruction, or
a narrow cobble-stoned street. And, finally, when you're
marveling at the rocky inlets of the Mediterranean sea,
or relaxing on the beach of Cassis, you can also say: "I'm
in Provence!"
