Nice Old Town tour with tastings
Explore The Old Town: "Vieux Nice" is Nice’s most colourful neighbourhood – tiny
serpentine alleys where countless shops, galleries and restaurants nestle among
the stacked medieval buildings with laundry hanging outside the windows like
pastel banners.
The main, place Rossetti, is home to two places of pilgrimage: the Cathedral de
Ste-Réparate, Nice’s patron saint, and the Fennicchio ice-cream palour.
The heart of the old city lies to the south, along Cours Saleya, where cut
flowers perfume the air and the stalls piled high with lush fruit and vegetables,
olives and candied fruit operate from dawn to lunch, Tuesday to Sunday; Niçois
institution Chez Thérèse cheerfully touts her chickpea socca – the cheap but
fulfilling snack that is to Nice what the hotdog is to New York – from a stand
every morning.
Option: Rising up the eastern side of Vieux Nice is the Château Mountain (60
minutes)
A grassy park with an impressive waterfall but no château: this was destroyed in
the 18th century. If you don’t fancy the long slog up (steps climb from rue du
Château or rue Ste Claire in the old town) to the magnificent view from the top,
there is a lift (open 8am-6pm daily) by the Tour Bellanda, home of the Musee Naval,
on the pier "des Etats-Unis".

Tuesday, June 16th 2020
Aix-en-Provence following the footsteps of the
great Painter Cezanne
Paul Cézanne is unquestionably the Aix's most famous personality. After a period of
Romanticism, he discovered Impressionism and then invented “a new art”, of which he
called himself “the primitive”. His quest for expression is revealed through his series of
works: portraits, still life, landscapes, and bathers. Painted in oil or watercolor, they
all reveal the work of an obstinate craftsman.
Jas de Bouffan Family property, in the house where it all started:
In the Jas de Bouffan house, listed as historical monuments, you will discover what
the family property was for the painter: a place to live, a stage for his first paintings,
an artist's studio & a place of learning to paint outdoors. You will appreciate the 12
murals painted by young Cezanne on the ground floor.
Cezanne's Workshop:
Surrounded by a romantic garden which inspired the painting of Large Bathers, the
workshop has preserved the artist's furniture and objects motifs for his still life
paintings, an authentic place of memories.
Discover the landscapes that inspired Cezanne around the Sainte-Victoire Mountain.
Follow a route around the hut where the artist kept his paintings, and sometimes
slept.

France's first harbor and the oldest major city is in a surprisingly attractive setting,
centered on the Vieux Port. People have lived here for 26 centuries, its mixture of
cultures being so varied that Alexandre Dumas called it "the meeting place of the
entire world".
Twenty-six centuries of history have gone to make Marseilles the oldest of the great
French cities. Jealous of its independence, the city has always struck out on its own,
resulting in its isolation from the regional and national community until the 19th
century.
Even nowadays, although proud to be the second most populated city in France, it has
its own distinct character: a combination of authenticity and hardworn clichés. (tall
stories about Marius and César, the cries of fishmongers on the Old Port or of the
pétanque players, or shady judicial proceedings).
Discover the city of Marseilles in all its glory with your group, and see some of the
most amazing monuments in historie!

Cruise from Marseille to admire the Calanques,
the Provence Fjords
Cruise from Marseille to admire the Calanques. Between Marseille and Cassis, the
coast is broken up by calanques, enticing fjord-like inlets lying between vertical
white cliffs.
Continuing deep under water, they offer safe natural harbors and fascinating
aquatic life, with glorious views from the hights.
The boat goes along the southern harbor of Marseille through the islands located in
front of Marseille, the archipelago of Frioul and the Chateau d'If to Cape Croisette,
entrance door of the Creeks.
The boat goes into each of them, to the Bay of Cassis, where you will stop to enjoy a
gourmet Meal in Port Miou before coming back.
Favourite summer resort of such artist as Matisse, Cassis is a lovely little port,
tucked into limestone hills. The local delicacy is fresh sea urchins, enjoyed with a
glass of Cassis reputed white wine.
We recommend water activities and also vineyards visits.

Medieval castle Aix-en-Provence amazing private
luxury gala dinner venue
Property of the Counts of Provence erected as a fiefdom by Henry III in 1576, the
largest Provençal families followed one another. The Alamanon, Agoult, Oraison,
Pontleroy but also the Tournefort and Candolle lived there, careful to preserve this
exceptional terroir. A tradition that continues in the family today.
A family home, luxury, and serenity are the keywords of this magical and historic
place. After a long period of renovation, the owners are happy to introduce you to
the Art de Vivre en Provence in a large wine and agricultural estate.

Amazing private luxury gala dinner venue with
medieval entertainment
Elegantly dressed 18th-century artists will entertain the cocktail party in the park
by the Castle. Some artists play music, others prepare bouquets of flamboyant flowers
of roses, sunflowers, and lavenders. There will also be artists making bags of fresh
lavender that are offered to wives.
The sunset over the hills and vineyards gives the signal to close the cocktail party
and sit down to eat.
It is at this moment that the garlands of lights illuminate the tables.
The butlers arrive in brigades and serve each table simultaneously. The drinks buffet is
organized around a huge barrel, each dish is served with a different wine. The
musicians go from table to table as well as our artists in medieval costumes to
entertain the guests. They have card games, money games or seduction games that
used to be played in princely residences, which will give participants a historical
experience.
