This intrepid excursion starts at Marseille pier, where you will head to Lourmarin, a charming village at the foot of the Luberon Range. Once the home of novelist Albert Camus, you will see why it was a perfect hideaway for a writer thanks to its great serenity and beauty. Dominated by its striking Renaissance castle, explore the narrow streets before winding your way through the picturesque countryside, to Aix-en-Provence, which sits at the foot of the Sainte Victoire mountain. Stroll through the beautiful village and view the Old Town, with its 12th-century cathedral, Archbishop's Palace and clock tower. Shopping is a must, and you may also wish to seek out one of the region's sweet specialties, the Calisson d' Aix - diamond-shaped candies made out of almonds and preserved melon. Find a café to enjoy a tasty Provencal lunch before heading back to Marseille.

Special Notes:

Euros are required for entrance fees as well as for purchasing lunch and refreshments. The tour is unguided but there will be an English-speaking escort onboard the transfer motor coach; however they will not give any commentary during the tour. The escort will only provide the location of the bus and departure time. Shopping is limited in villages outside of the main touristic season.
