5.00What a wonderful guided tour of the historic city of Axe-en-Provence. Full of current events and happenings and cultural and historic background. I would recommend this tour to anyone spending a few days in Axe...or as a day trip from Marseille (a quick 35 minute train ride between the two cities and the trains run every hour). The made me want to make another trek to Provence!!
Ben was excellent,...
