Hello, my name is Laurent, an oenologist passionate about the wonderful organic wines of magnificent Provence.I have an oenology & guide diploma , a professional tourist driving licence.
Over the past 20 years I've had three restaurants, the last of which was an organic wine bar and restaurant.
To find the best organic wines I had to set out and explore the region for lesser-known vinyards and wine makers.
I try to make it to as many organic wine trade fairs as possible.
Still looking for treasures !
I want to share my discoveries with other wine lovers.

Tour of Marseille - 4hours
We'll pick you up at your ship or hotel, and then drive up to the highest point in Marseille, Notre Dame de la Garde, for a spectacular 360° view of the city, coastline and mountains.
Then we'll drive down into the heart of it where we'll see the most important sites and get a feel for Marseille's main attraction: IT'S PEOPLE with their independent spirit and happy-go-lucky style. You'll visit The Old Port, the fish market, the oldest neighborhood in France, le Panier, and the Fort St. Jean. Then we'll drive along the city's beautiful coast and back to
your ship or hotel.
Aix-en-Provence Highlights - 4 hours
We'll pick you up at your ship or hotel and drive strait to Aix-en- Provence (about 30 minutes) to get a look at its lively morning markets. We'll take a walking tour of the old town with its beautiful buildings, St. Sauveur Cathedral, the history museum and Cézanne's workshop. You'll have lunch in a typical Provencal restaurant (optional), and, if time permits, do a bit of shopping or wine tasting. Then, we'll drive you back to your ship or hotel. If you have any special requests, please let me know!
Cassis Highlights - 4 hours
We'll pick you up at your ship or hotel in Marseille then drive along the coast road to Europe's highest maritime cliff, Cap Canaille, for the staggering views above Cassis. Then we'll drive a bit along the winding road, La Route des Crêtes, for more incredible views before heading down into this little beach and fishing town. We'll take a boat trip to the Calanques. These limestone inlets with translucent blue water and tiny beaches are a must see. You'll have lunch in a typical Provencal restaurant (optional) and if time permits, you can do a bit of shopping or wine tasting (Cassis is famous for its whites!) before we take you back to your ship or hotel. If you have any special requests, please let me know!
