i did a RC ship tour to Cassellet, a medieval village, had a brief tour round with the escort - very good, then to a restaurant for wine - only one glass, pity 2 glasses are so much better than one - a few typical tip bits to eat and then free time
i enjoyed it and the coach was modern and the countryside was very pleasant but it was not cheap ...
Tour of Aix-en-Provence and Marseilles: Our guide was quite knowledgable, and kept us informed every step of the way. The town of A.E.P. was very cool, quaint yet historical. We came in on a Sunday and ended up at a farmer's market in a large large square. We dined on roast duck, potatoes, local cheeses, and a loaf of straight-out-of-the oven French bread from a bakery right there. ...
We visited Cassis, a little fishing village, about 45 minutes drive. On the way there we went up the Mountain on a windy road to amazing views and an amazing photo opportunity at the top. Cassis was lovely, just wish we had a little more time there ...
