Hello and welcome to my page! If you are here, it means that you are searching for a nice day trip in Provence. I hope you will find something inspiring for you. Let me introduce myself first, I’m Tom and I have been living in the Aix-en-Provence and Marseille regions for the last 20 years. Since I discovered the south of France, I knew it was “my place”: the sun, the sea, beautiful beaches, picturesque countryside, surprising towns full of contrasts, authentic villages..and of course a very good Mediterranean cuisine, full of colours, good wine, endless aperitifs..a mix of cultures. A certain lightness and joy of living. I started my career in the luxury hospitality sector and after few years I changed from being Sales Director to the Tourism Manager of the local vineyard where I realized that the most important aspects I like in my job are sharing my knowledge about the region and simply having good moments with people. I decided to quit my full-time job and create my own company, of course in accordance with my interests and values. I love simplicity, nature, hiking and being in beautiful authentic sites where I can unwind and connect to myself and to the place I’m visiting. I will be offering the trips I’m used to propose to my family and friends as well! Showing you the authentic Provence but also letting you discover it by yourself. More than a guide, I rather consider myself as the “experiences’ creator”. My goal is to accompany you to live your day more like a local than a tourist. Aside from few unmissable excursions, I want to show you the real Provence, sometimes out of the beaten path: seeing local producers who work with passion and love for their land and their animals, plus the magnificent landscapes as close as possible from our meeting point, because the less time you spend in the car, the more you will feel the surrounding nature and the atmosphere of this inspiring region. People here say “Not too fast in the morning, slowly in the afternoon” and I think indeed that at least during holidays, it is important to slow down. I invite you to experience Provence with me! Have a look into my tours, I have prepared a few options for you! But if you don’t find the one you are looking for, just let me know! It will be a pleasure for me to customize a day for you according to your expectations. See you soon, Tom

I conceived two totally different options to experience Provence in one day and connect to the places you'll visit. The first option is about exploring the coast. We'll start by the amazing Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde basilica and its 360° view of all Marseille and the sea. You'll have a walk in the Old Port to feel the vibrant energy of this oldest city in France. Then, you can unwind in Cassis, an old fisherman village with its pictoresque harbour, many restaurants and boutiques. There is a possibility to get a boat to visit the incredible Calanques. We'll finish by Cap Canailles, the highest cliff in Europe. The second option is a real immersion in the peaceful countryside around Sainte Victoire mountain: nature, hilltop villages, wine tasting, incredible landscapes, game of pétanque with local appetizers. After that, I'll bring you to the chic Aix-en-Provence with its old center offering a postcard-worthy square around every corner. The French art de vivre is so stylishly displayed there. Just chose :)
OPTION 1 : Cassis & Marseille -Pick-up, visit of the basilica Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, walk in the Old Port, time for a coffee & croissant -Road through the Calanques National Park and free time in Cassis: lunch, shopping & strolling or a boat ride to visit Les Calanques or a beach time -Drive on the cliff Cap Canaille with a glass of rosé & some snacks -Drop off OPTION 2 : Countryside & Aix-en-Provence -Pick-up, drive through Sainte Victoire massif and vines valley with few stops -Visit of the vineyard with wine tasting (1 red, 1 white and 3 different rosés) -Walk in a little hilltop village away from hustle and bustle of tourism or a walk through vines fields -Game of pétanque with few Provencal appetizers -Free time for lunch time in a nice restaurant in the nature or in the village -Aix-en-Provence : the capital of Provence with its extraoridinary boutiques, squares, cute small alleys, bars & restaurants. I can give you a list of best shops really worth to see to grab some high quality gifts. -Drop off

The port of Marseille is not big, I will meet you in the parking, next to the white metallic exit doors.
