Embark on a vibrant Private Shore Excursion from Toulon Port of Call to Visit Aix en Provence followed by wine tasting in the Provence Wine Region of Bandol!

Pick up at your Cruise ship in Toulon

Today, we will come and pick you up directly at your ship in Toulon or La Seyne Sur Mer Cruise Ports. Meet your English speaking driver/guide who will go over the itinerary and program of this private full day tour with you. Then board your A/C vehicle and begin to make your way to the city of Aix en Provence.

Arrive in Aix en Provence

In the morning depart for your private small group full day tour from Toulon to Aix en Provence. The charming small town of Aix en Provence is known as the City of Water and City of Fine Arts. The number of fountains that are located in Aix is quite unusual and about 30 of them are considered to be Architectural highlights.

Fontaine des Trois Ormeaux, Fontaine Miollis or the amazing Fontaine Moussue - covered with moss - all date back to the 17th century. Your guided tour of Aix en Provence historical city center will certainly include some fountains and show you how important water is to the town.

Visit the Historical City Center

During your walking tour, you will also visit the historical old town of Aix en Provence. Admire the finesse of wrought iron sculpted on the balconies of the Houses that line Cours Mirabeau, Albertas square and the 17th century town hall. Other landmarks include Saint Sauveur Cloister and the nearby Cathedral.

Or follow the footsteps of french painter Cézanne

Aix en Provence is also home to Fine Arts. One can follow the footsteps of famous Post Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. Born in Aix en Provence, the painter is also buried here in the Saint Peter cemetery. It is possible today to visit his Painting Studio where one can still admire furniture, equipment and tiny details that will connect you with his life.

Another great option, a Gourmet Food & Wine Experience

If History, Culture or Art is not your priority while on a shore excursion then another great option is to opt for a gourmet food & wine tour of Aix en Provence. The town is known for its large number of culinary specialties and the Provence wine region is just a few kilometers away.

If you choose this option, your guide will show you the seasonal produce, meet local farmers at the farmers market, taste pastries, macaron and candied fruits which are a local delicacy. You will also have the opportunity to stop for a well deserved drink and what better than local rosé wine!

Reach the small fishing port of Bandol

Then, your Toulon shore excursion will head towards the typical fishing port of Bandol. Enjoy some free time in the village to have lunch, and stroll around the colorful streets. 

After lunch, it will be time for your tour guide to lead you to the Provence wine region of Bandol. This is a key appellation of the Provence wine region in the far Eastern south of France. Created in 1941, the title covers red, white and rosé wines from roughly 1550 hectares (3830 acres) of vineyards around the Mediterranean coastal town.

It is most famous for its red wines, which make up the majority of the appellation's output. These contain a high proportion of Mourvèdre grape variety – the appellation rules require at least 50 percent. Participate in the visit of a domain with a private guide. Enjoy wine tasting of local wines (fees not included) on this Provence wine tour part of your shore excursion. On request we can also include white wines.

After your tour, you will be driven back to your cruise ship and this will be the end of this Toulon small group private tour.
