You are on holiday in French Riviera and you want to discover deep France! visit : LA PROVENCE!
I suggest visiting two important cities.
The first : Aix-en-Provence which is the capital of Provence ; Labelled city of art and history, due to its 156 historic site listed.
The second : Cassis, a small fishing village, with its famous Callanques and blue waters, Cassis have the most famous white wine in France.
Marseille is the second largest, and the oldest city in France ; “2600 years of history”.
With its old port, its churches, its restaurants, its emblematic food, its museum -LE MUCEM-…
Marseille has everything to seduce you!

At 1 hour 50 minutes from Nice, Aix-en-Provence the historic capital of Provence is Labelled City of Art and History. Travel back in time to antiquity, 122 BC when the Roman consul Caius Sextius Calvinus, took and destroyed the ancient city-oppidum under the control of the Legurians, to build a camp which quickly became a city; AIX-EN-PROVENCE has borne, during its 22 century of existence, Aix-en-Provence was controlled by the Visigoths, the Franks, the Lombards, and Sarazins, it join the kingdom of France in 1789.

Discover the famous and magnificent Calanques of Cassis, aboard a boat from Cassis port for 1 hour sea trip. Enjoy amasing views, admire these turquoise waters. The centre of Cassis is full of historical monuments that you can like it, such as the Town Hall with its vaulted rooms, the Fishing Court located on the Quai Barthélemy, the Quatre Nations fountain, the Baragon fountain, also the Cassis market which is held every Friday and Wednesday, where you can find Provençal products (charcuterie, cheeses, wines, lavender products, etc). Sit down on a terrace at this 2600-years old port of Cassis, and savouring a delicious Mediterranean dishes.

This is not a tour where you spend most of your time driving in traffic jams! It's not a chase like many other tours. I built the tour to avoid this problem, you'll have enough time to enjoy each spot, with instructions of a professional guide.
