Mary Magdalene was close to Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Expelled from Palestine at the beginning of the 1st century, she arrived in Provence by sea in a small boat.

Whether you are a Pilgrim, or simply fascinated by the incredible history of Saint Mary Magdalene, I suggest you live a journey into the past by discovering the cave.

What are people saying about Aix-en-Provence

Al_G, Jul 2026

A great guide with breathtaking views

The guide, Vincent, was very thoughtful in preparing us at the beginning and was very patient with the group. The bikes were super and very trail worthy. The value was truly amazing in that we were on the tour for close to 4 hours with a diversity of terrain from single track to some roads. The views of the mountains and a beautiful lake were amazing. We felt safe the whole time and Vincent was very nice and welcoming with the patience to alternate between French and English explanations.

An absolute must do! Spectacular.

Kevin was an amazing pilot! Our motorbike outing is easily in the top 10 most carefree, joyous, beautiful moments in life. Like something out of a movie. In fact, I wanted to hire “Damian” to take us out again the next day. Will recommend to anyone heading to Aix. Thank you, Kevin!

5-Hours Lavender Fields Tour in Valensole from Aix-en-Provence

Jessica_K, Jul 2026

What a wonderful side trip!

What a wonderful experience (again), all my Viator adventures have been great over the years and this trip out to the lavender farms with our tour guide/driver Chris was no exception. Too bad he's retiring soon though I'm so pleased for him -- he was nice, funny, and accommodating with lots of little interesting facts. If you're near Valensole, you've got to go - it's charming.

Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence

Mrs_H, Jul 2026

Lovely lavender

Meeting point outside the tourist information centre, which was easy. Lovely drive to the lavender fields with Anthony, our very knowledgeable driver. He took us to some lovely locations and we even got to see the lavender being harvested, amazing smell! Then onto sunflower fields and some great photo opportunities. Finished with a tasting and talk at an olive oil production facility. Lots of products to buy - olive oils, lavender and local wines - I recommend the rosé! Knowledgeable attentive driver who even gave us some restaurant recommendations, thank you Anthony. Great experience, so glad we didn’t try to hire a car and do it on our own!

Aix-en-Provence is amazing!

We were so fortunate to have our guide, Thais, showing us the details and beautiful history of Aix.

Luberon Villages Half-Day Tour from Aix-en-Provence

John_H, Jun 2026

Wonderful day in Luberon

Fantastic tour to visit the mountain villages less than an hour from Aix. Our tour had 6 plus the guide and it was very comfortable modern transportation. Corrine, our guide, was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend the day with. We visited 3 distinct villages and had roughly an hour of free time at each which was enough. This is an amazing tour. Glad we did the half-day 6 hour tour as I feel it was enough. If you haven't already called motion sickness, there are some winding roads in the mountains so consider having medication, but the road weren't too bad. Must do excursion!

Fabienne was exceptional in touring us on a walking tour in Aix-en-Provence. Her educational explanations of the history was so well explained and use of visual pictures as well. The combination with local food selections was delightful. She is so pleasant to be with and we felt like we knew her for years. Don’t hesitate to book with her.

Great half day trip!

This was a lovely half day tour. Simple but nice. We had Marian for our tour guide and she was as lovely. It’s about an hour to Cassis from Aix with one stop that gives you stunning views from a cliff overlooking this little coastal town. When you get to Cassis you can get tix for a really beautiful boat ride in and around the nearby islands (that’s what we did) or just eat and shop in town. Very chill and relaxed.

5-Hour Private Sightseeing Tour of the Provence from Marseille in Luxury Car

Tamar_S, Apr 2026

Perfect day in Marseilles!

Our tour in Marseilles was one of the highlights of our Mediterranean cruise. From the moment Bruno picked us up at the cruise terminal, we knew we were in good hands. He has a super comfortable Mercedes van with WiFi, charging cables for our phones, water, and mints. Bruno is not only incredibly kind, but he is also really funny. He knew all the best places to go in the region, and made sure we maximized our day in port. He took us to Notre Dame de la Garde, Aix en Provence, Cassis, and a few other places we wanted to see. He shared facts and history of Marseilles with us and took great pictures of me and my family. Needless to say, we had a perfect day full of laughter, great conversation, and beautiful scenery. We hope to be back in Marseilles again one day and will definitely call Bruno to take us around!

Luberon Market & Villages Day Trip from Aix-en-Provence

Cherie_D, Nov 2025

Luberon medieval villages

The little medieval villages of the Luberon district are really worth a day tour. At this time of the year however (late November) they are a bit like ghost towns as most of the shops are closed particularly at Gourds as it is not tourist season and inhabitants tend to leave. But without a lot of tourists it is easier to admire the architecture and landscape. Our guide Remy was great. My only complaint is that we were in a car with 7 of us and as Australians we are used to fresh air and tend to get claustrophobic and uncomfortable in the closed areas with the same hot air circulating. I am an asthmatic and had to ask to move from the back to the front of the car as I was having trouble breathing. I was pleased to get out of the car at the end. We never understand in Europe and America why houses are so closed up and even in our accommodation travelling through Europe when it is 0 degrees outside we need at least a gap in the window to let some fresh air in and the stale air out otherwise we tend to get sick.

Provence Day Trip with Cassis Village Boat Ride and Local Wine Tasting from Aix

Andre_D, Sep 2025

Beautiful day in Cassis!

The perfect day in Cassis! Beautiful scenery (boat ride to see les Calanques) The town of Cassis is nice, restaurants are various and, in general, very good. A stop at the wineyard “Domaine de Pagnol” for nice wine tasting. Our guide ( Julien) was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. I recommend.

Arles, Les Baux & Saint-Remy de Provence from Aix

Sandra_K, Sep 2025

Rainy but still lovely

We had such a fun group of people (7 passengers), that we had a great time on our tour, despite it being a stormy day. Poor Tomas, our driver, felt so bad as if he was personally responsible for the weather, but he worked with us to adjust the itinerary around the storms, and we ended up having a fun and informative trip. He did a great job.
