Enjoy a leisurely start to your day before embarking on a 6.5-hour tour that makes the most of the historic sights of both Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. Board your motorcoach for a 30-minute drive to Aix-en-Provence, the cultural and political center of Provence, best explored on a guided walking tour. Stroll down the Cours Mirabeau, a wide avenue shaded by 200-year-old trees, lined with elegant mansions and studded with romantic fountains. Continue to the Mazarin Quarter, designed in 1646 and famed for its dolphin fountain and picturesque Cathédrale Saint Sauveur. Take time to explore independently and enjoy lunch on your own. Continue with a scenic drive along the La Corniche to Marseille and visit the iconic Notre Dame Basilica, built between 1853 and 1864, with its ornate dome, bell tower and crowning statue of the Virgin Mary. Conclude with a photo stop at the old port, then return to the ship.

Special Notes:
