Day trip ideas from Aix En Provence

Staying in Aix-en-Provence puts you close to coastal towns, hill villages, and Roman sites that make easy day trips without long drives, and these day trips also fit private tours customised to your interests.

Marseille: Walk the Vieux-Port and Le Panier for harbour views, street art, and market snacks, then climb to Notre-Dame de la Garde for a wide city panorama; a day here suits you if you like big-port energy, diverse food, and time by the sea.

Luberon hill villages (Gordes and Roussillon): Stone lanes, sunlit squares, and ochre landscapes set an easy pace, with short hops between villages for photos, local wine, and a simple lunch on a shaded terrace if you want a slower day.

Cassis and the Calanques viewpoints: Stroll the small harbour, take in the Cap Canaille cliff road for big Mediterranean views, and follow easy paths to calanque lookouts; pick this if you’re into coastal scenery and short walks.

Arles and the Camargue: See Roman arenas and quiet squares in Arles, then continue to salt flats and wetlands where you might spot flamingos and horses; this day works for history lovers who also want open landscapes and nature.

Mont Sainte-Victoire and Cézanne sites: Trace the painter’s viewpoints around Aix, then head to vineyard roads and trailheads around the mountain for light hikes and picnic stops, a good fit if you like art, countryside, and time outdoors.

A private tour with a local guide is the best way to really get to know a place. Skip the crowds, follow your interests, and see a side of Aix En Provence most travellers miss.
