Your Guide in Aix
Aix-en-Provence was founded over 2000 years ago... I arrived in 2019, and today I'm ready to tell you all about it in Spanish, English, or French.
Hello! I'm Luli Siguelboim, an Argentinian with a background in literature, arts and psychology... and 7 years of experience as a guide in this small city where I chose to settle for pure aesthetic pleasure!
My job is to create experiences that appeal to all your senses, so you can experience the most delicious and profound aspects of Aix-en-Provence and take home unforgettable memories. My goal: to share my perception of this city I fell in love with, inviting you to explore it through history, culture, and the authentic flavors and aromas that define the local identity.
In Detail
This private walking tour is designed to delight all 5 senses and introduce you to the former capital of Provence through its colors and shapes, flavors and aromas, art, architecture, and history.
The complete experience awaits you. Immerse yourself for a few hours in the pleasures of Aix-en-Provence. You might, for example, take a picture with the statue of Cézanne, discover the striking contrast between the baroque quarter and the medieval district, drink from the fountains of “the city of water,” be amused by the prices in the local boutiques, cuddle cats in a very special bookshop, uncover the secret story behind the distinctive shape of the calisson, and indulge in cheeses, wines, tapenade, and other gourmet surprises from Provence.
We meet at the entrance to the Pavillon Noir — because I don’t want you to miss three remarkable contemporary buildings that add another layer to our city and are not included in traditional tours.
The experience lasts approximately 4 hours and includes:
● 2.5 hours of walking through the historical center, with stories about Aix’s history, culture, architecture, and curiosities, punctuated by poems and quotes so you can imbue your promenade with the perceptions of several artists throughout the centuries
● Stops to taste local specialties and Provençal delicacies (on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings the market is open, offering even more opportunities to discover local flavors)
● A selection of local gifts to take home at the end of your experience: authentic Marseille soap and lavender for each participant, a box of calissons for the group
Come treat yourself and embrace the spirit of a Provençal saying that perfectly captures the art of taking a holiday: “Doing nothing is living twice.”
There's so much that happens within this dolce far' niente... That "nothing" is brimming with life.
Optional (depending on your interests and availability):
● A visit to a local artist’s atelier, where you can discover works inspired by the landscapes and culture of Provence, meet the artist, and enjoy a conversation about their work
● An introduction to Provençal folk dance, with traditional music!
