“Provence hides its mysteries behind their obvious fact” wrote Jean Giono
A region renown all over the world for its beauty, its picturesque medieval villages, and a certain way of life. Let us suggest an excursion that would include 3 wonders of our region :
– Aix-en-Provence :
The historic capital of Provence, and the most beautiful city of the south east of France. A must see !
– Cassis :
The sea is part of the history of Provence from the highest antiquity until today. Enjoy the most charming fishing port and one of the most impressive panorama in southern Europe at the Cap Canaille.
Drive through the Calanques National Park.
– Marseille :
It starts with the symbol of the city « Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde », splendid basilica located at the top of the city and offers the most breathtaking view over the region. Then the history buff will choose to see the Saint Victor abbey, those attracted by architecture and views will choose the MUCEM and the fort Saint-Jean, the authenticity buff will opt for the Old town (Le Panier).
