    From the moment we arrived in Aix-en-Provence, the atmosphere was magical. The tree-lined streets, elegant fountains, and lively market made it feel like a dream. Our guide was fantastic, full of knowledge and local stories that added so much to the experience. The calisson tasting was the icing on the cake—a perfect way to wrap up our visit.

  • Aix-en-Provence felt like stepping into a painting.

    The cobblestone streets, fountains, and tree-lined walkways were just as charming as I imagined. Our guide had a genuine passion for the city and showed us hidden spots I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. The market was alive with colors and scents, and tasting the calissons was such a sweet way to end the trip.
