Jim was in charge of this port- Marseilles. We located a company that took us to the area of Aix Provence but couldn't take us as far as the lavender fields (2 hour each way) & the lavender wasn't quite ready yet. The company was:
One Day in Provence Tour
The tour description: Marseille and Cassis. Drive to Marseille and visit
Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Basilica and enjoy a panoramic view over
the Phocean city. Walking tour around le Panier, visit the
Cathedral “La Major”, the Mucem and fort saint-John. We drive then
to the little fishing port of Cassis which is famous for its
location itself between cliffs, sea and vineyards and for its
Calanques (kind of little fjords with high limestone cliffs). We
will go to the top of the cliff of Cap Canaille to have a
breathtaking view of the port and the Provencal countryside. We didn't spend time in the Calanques like I thought we would, but loved that we got to the market in Provence.
We met our driver & started the day in the town of Provence
We got to visit the town on market day!
We were supposed to meet our guide at the church but we got lost
We found her! Hello Delphine!
The salt crusted cod was very good. I need to make this at home
The guys bought ice cream- Wesley bought lavender ice cream & they took pictures of it
We made a final stop at the Notre Dame of Marseilles
There's the lavender ice cream
Overall a lovely way to see the south of France
