Overview

During this tour, I will share with you my passion for the beautiful city of Aix-en-Provence and help you discover what makes it so special: its elegant city mansions from the 17 - 18th century, the charming shaded squares, its many graceful fountains and its vibrant colourful markets.

I will introduce you to local life, the authentic Provençal art of living through History, anecdotes and personal tips. It will be a genuine insider's experience.

About me

My name is Caroline, I am a passionate Local Guide. I grew up in this region, studied at Aix University. I love working in the tourism trade as it enables me to meet new people, share my passion for my city and create meaningful moments with visitors from all around the world. I have had the opportunity to live abroad: in the USA and in Belgium. These experiences opened my mind. I know what it feels like to arrive in an unfamiliar place, and it will be a pleasure to help you and make you feel at home:)
