Don\u2019t just visit Provence \u2014 live it. From charming towns and seaside views to local flavors and history, this is the essence of Provence in one day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We are a retired couple on a cruise that had a stopover in Marseille. We booked a private tour with R\u00e9mi. The day was fantastic. He gave us a walking tour of Aix. He then took us to Cassis where we had lunch at a seaside restaurant, which was very relaxing and fun. He showed us some of the beautiful sights of Marseille. We wouldn’t have changed a thing.<\/p>\n R\u00e9mi was very easy to communicate with in English (we’re not French speakers). We talked about many different aspects of France and Provence. I couldn’t have asked for more. \u00a0Derek and Sally<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We had a wonderful day touring Aix en Provence and Cassis with Remy. He is friendly, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about the history of the region, and was happy to answer all our questions. He took us for a wine tasting at a beautiful winery and suggested a great place for lunch in Cassis. We are very glad we had the opportunity to take this tour. \u00a0Jeri W<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"Group](\"https:\/\/gentleprovence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/visiting-provence-girlfriends-trip-happy-memories.jpg\")
