    Additional information

    • If you want to share your tour with others, you can put it on Cruise Critic. Most of the time this gives good results. You must do this yourself as we are not accepted on their site as a professional business. We accept split payment transactions by credit card.This shore excursion is best for cruise guests who enjoy art, history, gentle walking and a classy Provençal atmosphere rather than a long, intensive sightseeing day. It’s ideal for couples, small groups of friends, and culturally curious travelers who want time to explore Aix’s markets, fountains, boutiques and Cézanne connections at a relaxed pace. The flexible options (markets and café time, Granet Museum, or a short “footsteps of Cézanne” focus) also make it a great choice for visitors with mixed interests or limited mobility, as the day can be tailored to energy levels and preferences.
