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!!
