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. She dedicated her life to carrying the voice of Jesus through Provence, then she retired to the cave of the Massif de la Sainte Baume, where she lived in Hermite the last 30 years of her life. 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.

My tour of the Luberon...

My tour of the Luberon villages with Adrien was great. He was on time, provided the group with plenty of information, and made sure everyone felt at ease. I didn't feel rushed at all. Despite the rain, the villages were beautiful. The afternoon went by so quickly. I would definitely book another tour with à la Française and Adrien as a tour guide.

Cassis Half-Day Trip from Aix-en-Provence

Lawrence_D, May 2026

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.

Cotes de Provence Wine Tour from Aix-en-Provence

Carol_G, May 2026

Perfect Wine Tour

I highly recommend this tour. Adriene did a wonderful job in guiding us through the experience. In addition to tasting some lovely wines, he provided a great education about wine making. He made the experience fun and was very patient with our sometimes slightly unruly group. Be sure you have a good base before you go as we tasted more wine than anticipated. Not that we complained about that....

Sunset Lavender Tour from Aix-en-Provence

Siphilisiwe_N, May 2026

A lavender dream…

There are no words to do this justice. It was everything and more. I was truly immersed in seas of lavender, buzzing bees…butterflies…and the golden sunset. Honestly one of the highlights of my travels over the years. It was a bucket list holiday and this topped it off. Thank you.

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.

Wonderful tour, Delicious food

This was a fun way to experience Aix. Inga was a fun guide, giving us bits of history and helping us experience the market. The food was delicious. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area. We had a great time! Don’t eat breakfast because you will have a lot of food on the tour!

Aix bike ride

We had a great outing with Vincent today. Great route and fantastic scenery. The equipment was in good repair and Vincent gave good instructions on how to properly operate the bikes. These are mountain bikes on trails, not a street ride so govern yourself accordingly. We had a great experience and would highly recommend.

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.

Wonderful get away from Aix en Provence! There was just enough time in Cassis to take the one hour boat ride, get a quick snack, and explore the town a bit. Cassis is beautiful and I’m so glad we went. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and we enjoyed his company very much.

Josh_G, Sep 2025

Don’t Miss Out.

A trip to Provence for some is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you want something to tell your friends about besides the normal tourist sites, then you need to book with Eric. He was friendly, safe, and shows you Aix from a view that most don’t get to see. The tour, the tasting, the experience; all top notch. Highly recommended!

Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence

Mary_E, Jul 2025

Really enjoyed our...

Really enjoyed our lavender tour with Anthony. Even though much of the lavender was harvested earlier than usual due to the heatwave, he found us a beautiful field and took us to a sunflower field as well. Also enjoyed a visit to a family run lavender business, which gave us a tour and tasting of olive oils and information about the different types of lavender and their uses. A fun and worthwhile lavender tour.

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

Carmen_G, Jun 2025

A pleasant trip through lavender country.

We were taken to the lavender fields, distilleries and shops as well as to the town of Valensole in a comfortable van. The tour group consisted of 5 people plus the guide. Alessandro was very personable and knowledgeable and gave us ample time at each stop to enjoy the experience. The fields were very beautiful and Valensole was an interesting small town in the countryside. I would recommend this experience.
