Beskrivning
An aesthetic experience in every sense:
guided visit of the beautiful Old Town, with an immersion in delicious Provençal tastes and smells.
This private walking tour is designed to delight all 5 senses and to discover the former capital of Provence through its shapes and colors, flavors, aromas, works of art, architecture, and history.
Aix-en-Provence was founded over 2,000 years ago... I arrived in 2019, ready to tell you all about it in Spanish, English, or French.
Hello! I'm Luli, an Argentine with 7 years of experience as a tour guide in this small city where I chose to settle... purely for aesthetic reasons ♥! I've decided to launch this multi-sensory sightseeing tour to share the local delights with you and give you the best experience of the historic center.
Immerse yourself in local delights for a few hours. For example, you can take a photo with the statue of Cézanne, admire the difference between the Baroque quarter and the medieval area, drink from the fountains of "the city of waters," be shocked by the prices in the clothing boutiques, pet cats in a very special bookstore, discover the secret origin of the shape of the calisson, and enjoy the cheeses, wines, tapenade, and other gourmet delights of the region.
Meet at the door of the Pavillon Noir (because I don't want you to miss three contemporary buildings that also enrich our city and that almost no sightseeing tour includes). The itinerary lasts approximately 4 hours and includes:
● 2.5 hours of walking tour through the historic center, with explanations of history, culture, and local curiosities
● Breaks for food tasting of local cuisine specialties (Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are market days, and you can try even more variety)
● Making a lavender sachet per person, with an explanation
of the relationship between lavender and the region, and farewell with local products
local products (Marseille soap, the lavender sachet, and
a box of calissons for the group)
Come and treat yourself and honor that Provençal saying that celebrates vacations: "To do nothing is to live twice."
Optional (depending on your interest and the artist's availability):
● Visit a local artist's studio to appreciate works that represent the region's landscapes and culture, with the opportunity to meet the artist and have a conversation
