Aix-en-Provence & Cassis Shore Excursion From Marseille

Your Aix-en-Provence & Cassis Itinerary

Your driver-guide whisks you from the port into the heart of Provence.

Aix-en-Provence: Elegance, Art & Provençal Soul

Aix unfolds as a city of wide tree-lined boulevards, golden stone facades, and fountains that have been flowing for centuries.

What can one say about the extraordinary people at Luxury France Tours -- smart, sharp, considerate, responsive, curious, friendly, helpful, and supportive. Always there when you need them. Among the most professionals we have worked with.

Guided Walking Tour of the Old Town

Stroll through the aristocratic Cours Mirabeau, lined with mansions, cafés, and plane trees.

Your guide introduces you to:

• The baroque palaces of the Mazarin Quarter
• Hidden fountains fed by thermal springs
• Artisan chocolate shops & perfumeries
• Local markets filled with lavender, olives, and handmade soaps

Cézanne’s Aix

Follow in the footsteps of Paul Cézanne as your guide points out the neighbourhoods and light-filled streets that appear in his paintings. Optional visits include:

• Cézanne’s studio (interior visit available on request)
• Outdoor viewpoints beloved by the artist

Aix is refined, cultured, and unhurried, a perfect complement to the rugged beauty awaiting you in Cassis.

Leaving Aix, your driver-guide takes the scenic route toward the coast.

The journey becomes increasingly dramatic as you approach Cap Canaille, one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs.

Belvédère de Soubeyranes & Cassis

Step out to absorb the sweeping panorama: white cliffs plunging into azure water, terraced vineyards, secluded coves, and the little port of Cassis nestled below.

This is one of the most spectacular views in southern France, and your guide knows all the best vantage points.

Arriving in Cassis, you slip into a postcard world of pastel houses, bobbing fishing boats, chic cafés, and the scent of sea breeze mixed with pine.

Your guide leads you through Cassis’ narrow lanes and waterfront promenade, where artisans sell ceramics, linen, lavender bags, and stylish beachwear.

Luxury France Tours planned our recent trip to France. I can not say enough about how their staff, guides, and chauffeurs made our experience an unforgettable experience. The hotels they arranged were also impeccable. From Johnny who handled our initial itinerary and multiple revisions until we got it just right. Gabriella and the Operations team who answered all my questions leading up to the trip, and finally all the staff on the Whatapp chat daily to provide an update for the plans for the next day and to be available for questions. I've already been in contact with them to set up our preliminary itinerary for our trip to Italy next year.
