Overview

An exceptional tour where I will unveil to you Aix in all her glory: historical sites, scandals, winners and losers, hidden corners, secrets, sumptuous stories that will leave you breathless. What happened here? And why here of all places? Starting with the Romans in 120 BC! We will weave in and out of shady picturesque alleyways in the historical center of Aix. We will observe fountains, houses, buildings, statutes, gardens and other interesting spots and tell the stories of the people who lived and died there, of those who fought for love – and won or lost. All this with culinary touches that only Aix can supply so prepare your taste buds for a feast of the senses. Big market days are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Small market days are every day! I've been guiding in Aix since 2018. I'm a historical researcher, novelist, and screenwriter. My tours are high quality, small groups, personally tailored experiences for the guests. Looking forward, Sarit.
