Greetings from Marseille! One of the best features of my tours is the fact that I provide a driver (except for the 2-hour walking tour), a great advantage because time isn't spent looking for parking. We'll be dropped off and picked up as close to the points of interest as possible. The driver concentrates 100% on driving while I give the tour and answer your questions. Although I've lived in France for 38 years, I'm American, so you should have no difficulty understanding my English. Whether it's cultural and historic sites or simply shopping, I'll take you there! My name is Kathy. I grew up in Washington St. , spent many years in Santa Barbara and New York City and arrived in France in 1986. After having lived 20 years in Paris, I finally discovered Marseille, fell in love with the city and have been happy here ever since. I'm looking forward to touring Provence with you! Certificate, Technicienne d'accueil touristique option accompagnement, tour leader, in English. Internship at the tourist information office in Marseille.

Wine tasting at Château La Coste and open-air market in Aix-en-Provence
Overview of your Marseille tour
We'll start with the morning market in Aix-en-Provence in the heart of the Old Town where we'll stroll through its charming, winding streets. You'll appreciate the history and architecture of this ancient town which was founded by the Romans and is now a rather chic and busy city buzzing with students and artists of all kinds. If you are Cezanne fans, you can visit his workshop and/or the hill where he painted Mont St. Victoire. We'll then drive 20 minutes north across the pretty countryside to Château La Coste, famous for its architecture, art, food and wine. Wine tasting is 8 euros per person, free, if a bottle is purchased. If you like, you can have lunch at the outdoor café. We'll have a little stroll around the grounds near the vineyards and then drive back to Marseille.
