This morning you will discover the charms of Aix en Provence as you tour this lively city with your private tour guide. Founded by the Romans in 103 B.C., the city was invaded and damaged by the Barbarians, yet still managed to stay prosperous. At the end of the 12th century, Aix en Provence became the capital of Provence.

You will enjoy a walking tour of the vibrant city of Aix, appreciating the sumptuous architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as Aix en Provence’s markets and cafés, mansions and fountains, and lively streets and lovely stores.

Aix en Provence was also the birthplace of the painter Cézanne; your private tour guide will take you in his footsteps to see Mt. Sainte-Victoire, one of his favorite subjects, as well as his studio.

You will round out this day trip to Provence by sampling a local Aix delicacy, Calissons.

This traditional candy consists of candied fruit, ground almonds and a glaze topping - truly a unique flavor!
