Ajaccio - Scenic Prunelli Gorges
Take a scenic drive to the Prunelli Gorges, during which your guide will tell you about Corsica’s history, geography and unique traditions. Pass the Prunelli Gorges, where the Prunelli Rivers cut through jagged granite hills. Stop to take in the view at Lake Tolla, before continuing the drive through the villages of Ocana and Tolla. Then alight your coach for a tasting of local products before the return drive to your ship.
Marseille - Les Baux De Provence and Aix
Visit the eagle nest village of Les Baux de Provence, built on a rocky hill in the Alpilles mountain range. In the village of Les Baux, explore the ruins of the medieval citadel with its Saracen towers, the keep, the mill and the St Catherine chapel. Continue to Aix en Provence where your guide will take you on a walking tour passing by the Cours Mirabeau. Built in the 17th century on the site of the medieval ramparts, the Cours Mirabeau originally had no shops or boutiques. On the right side stands the aristocratic façades of the old hotels with their finely carved doorways and wrought-iron balconies, supported by intricate stone carvings from the Puget School.
