"Hello guys this is your captain Simon speaking!! I'm based in Aix en Provence, Provence's old capital. I was born in Cannes (movie festival) approximately 2 months before Cary Grant passed away. I have been working (enjoying myself) as a guide for 8 years. I can speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and a little bit French (OK not that good this one). About my "ship" it's a comfortable mercedes 8-seat van with air conditioned. . . We will see beautiful places, nice landscapes and people with moustaches! Maybe we will play pétanque and taste Roséwine (besides me since I'm your captain). We will probably see a lot of puppies and a lot of people wearing a beret. We will find delicious cantaloup and nice strawberries in a typical provencal market. We can buy a "baguette" and also taste a provencal goat cheese. We could actually have a "pique nique" !! We will hopefully see the Lavender Fields (June, July) and you will tell me how lucky I am to live in such an area. . . I would warn you about the large number of bees in the fields and explain the difference between the Lavendin and the Lavender. We will walk on the footsteps of Vangogh in Arles and St Rémy de Provence, and I will prove you that I'm his French descendant. . . Of course, I will show you the Popes' Palace in Avignon and if you want we will dance on "the bridge of Avignon" after a glass (or two) of Château Neuf du Pape Wine (if the popes have left us any). We will see soccer supporters praying in Marseille's beautiful basilica "Notre Dame de la Garde" for their team to win the game. I will prove you that French people do take showers thanks to the wonderful soap of Marseille. . . BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF FUN !! I hope you are ready and you've got your seatbelt fasten. Have a wonderful day!

Hello guys this is your captain Simon speaking… and Simon Says today « Get ready for an amazing experience » !! Today we will see 3 different places for a perfect combination. We will start with a walking tour together like a real "family" singing, laughing, taking some pictures in the city of Paul Cézanne: Aix en Provence. You will be probably charmed by the fountains, private mansions, french cafés and the typical provençal market. Feeling a bit peckish? Ok ! It's time to leave, towards Cassis a pretty fisherman village by the sea where you can enjoy your free time to have lunch and try the white wine, THE specialty ! (Not me unfortunately i'm your captain…). We will take a family picture on the top of the cap Canaille, where the view is spectacular avoiding falling I start to like you guys ! After a drive trough Marseille, we will finish praying at Notre Dame de la Garde Basilica because the Marseille soccer team need it :D So get ready, fasten your seat belt and let yourself float away!! Love, Simon
