Private transfer: Marseille airport to Aix-en-Provence in a luxury vehicle

A chauffeur will meet you for a private transfer between the Marseille airport and Aix-en-Provence.

Suggestion: Explore Aix-en-Provence

Protected by the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, which rises to 1,011m, Aix-en-Provence is surrounded by countryside full of authentic Provencal houses and traditional French-style gardens.

The name “Aix” comes from the source discovered when the city was founded in 123BC by the Romans.

Aix-en-Provence was the capital of Provence in the 15th century. Wealthy merchants and local dignitaries helped turn this city into the Florence of Provence as we know it today. One can find all the beauty of the noble Provence of the 17th and 18th centuries: handsome houses of the upper class, private mansions, city squares bursting with flowers, ancient fountains, and shaded narrow streets. Aix is truly a museum-like walking city, with unique masterpieces at every turn.

Aix was the inspiration to many of the greatest writers and painters: Guigou, Stendhal, Mistral, and Cézanne. There is even a special Cezanne tour which one can follow through the streets of Aix stopping at points marked with a C.

As a city of art and culture, Aix possesses a wealth of superb architecture that has been carefully preserved and restored. Walking through the Cours Mirabeau and the Rue Gaston de Saporta one can admire the private mansions with their sculptured doors and windows and the intricate iron work on the balconies. Discerning shoppers choose the elegant boutiques in the Mazarin district.

Enjoy Aix and all its treasures!

Suggestion: Visit Gordes

Gordes is listed as one of the “Plus Beaux Villages de France” (Most Beautiful Villages of France). This lovely little hilltop village looks like the scene from a postcard or painting. In fact, artists Victor Vasarély and Marc Chagall found inspiration for their paintings here. An ancient “village perché” (perched village), Gordes has a dramatic setting. The village stands on a steep slope descending from the Plateau de Vaucluse to the Coulon Valley. The perched location provided protection from invasions during the Middle Ages.

Dominating Gordes is the 16th-century Château de Gordes, a fortified castle with medieval corner towers and a grand doorway. The château’s Great Hall boasts a monumental Renaissance fireplace, one of the finest in France. The château houses the Pol Mara Museum dedicated to the Flemish painter’s masterpieces. To reach the museum, visitors must climb the château’s impressive spiraling Renaissance staircase up to the exhibition rooms on the top floor.

At the center of Gordes, the Place du Château de Gordes is a lively town square with many cafés, restaurants, art galleries, and souvenir shops. The best photo-op of Gordes is from the road leading up from Cavaillon.

Full-Day Private Tour of Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Fontaine de Vaucluse

Your private driver will pick you up from your accommodation and take you for a tour to Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, a charming island city filled with antique shops and art galleries along the Sorgue river where you will follow the water wheel route.

You will discover the importance of the river Sorgue to the many villages and towns it goes through. In the Middle Ages, the Sorgue was diverted to form several canals. One of them, the Canal de Vaucluse, today runs along the Rue des Teinturiers before joining the Rhône river by Avignon’s walled city. The initial purpose was for drainage, but when textile makers set up shop in Avignon, they soon realized the benefits of ready water supply and made a beeline for this area. Indeed, the Rue des Teinturiers translates roughly as “Dyers’ Street.”

The Villa Datris is a contemporary stopover not to be missed. You can also (optionally) visit the Filaventure museum, a factory that has been working nobly with silk and wool for 8 generations. We will recommend restaurants in the city center for lunch.

You will also visit the village of Fontaine de Vaucluse which is a picturesque, hidden gem, surrounded by 230-meter high cliffs and caves. It is home to one of the largest natural springs in the world. Its success and popularity are largely due to the mysterious spring and its emerald green water – peaceful and tranquil in summer and winter and spectacular in spring and autumn.
