Aix en provence tours

Just 30 kilometres from Marseille, a trip to Aix-en-Provence turns the clock back centuries. Known as the 'city of fountains,' it's a lovely place to experience authentic French life. Take an Aix-en-Provence private tour and explore this charming city with a local guide. Meet your guide at Place Richelme. Walk along boulevards lined with designer boutiques, linger in the Place D'Albertas, before heading to the city's thermal baths. The Romans were drawn to the underground springs. The hydrotherapy must have worked, because the Romans invaded and built a spa. A market town grew, until the Visigoths occupied it and the Vandals sacked it. In the 15th century Aix became a learning centre; these days, students lend a youthful energy to the bars and cafes. Too much sightseeing can leave you feeling overwhelmed…and famished. Consider taking a walking tour for foodies — a culinary connect-the-dots of Aix's artisan producers like butchers, bakers and goat cheese makers.
