Unforgettable Summer in the South of France: Countryside Accommodation near Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, and the French Riviera

Hosted by

Neika

Guided trip
Spend the summer with me in South of France. Our accommodation will be in Nans-les-Pins, a small provencal village. From there many activities possible : hiking, bicycle rides, beaches, golf, visit of several cities (Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, La Ciotat..), helicopter tour, horse riding... It will depends on what you want to do, the sky is the limit. The only mandatory excursion I plan, which will be included in the price, is a day trip on a boat to discover the Calanques or the islands near Marseille but I will have propositions for you every day. I plan a vineyard tour for those who can and if we are lucky we can also go see and smell the iconic lavender fields. For those who will need to work: we will be staying in a bed & breakfast run by my parents. They are west Indian living in the South of France for almost 30 years. I assure you that you will be feeling welcome and like a home away from home. The place is very comfy (120m2), 3 big rooms with double beds, with wifi, air conditioner, and everything you need so if you need to work, or after a long day outside it will be the oasis for us to cook together and share meals and rest. In less than 10 minute walk you will find many bakeries, restaurants, and shops. About me: My name is Neika, I spent my teenage years in the South of France so I know the region very well. I spent my childhood in South America, my teenage and early twenties in Europe, and a few years in Africa. And in between... I was still traveling. I'm looking for laid-back, respectful, and open-minded trip mates as I will include you in my family and friends circle. What is included in the price : - Accommodation in a 3 bedroom apartment (There is the possibility to come as a couple, as there are double beds in each room, and share a room to pay less per person. Let me know if it's the case so we can calculate the new price) - Breakfast - 1 day-boat trip with picnic - 1 welcome dinner (to choose together: barbecue, pizza, Caribbean food...) - All the transfers and transportation - A car rental (I can drive but I will need a second driver just in case) - Other surprises Not included : All the meals and activities not mentioned above. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the Q&A section below. After you book, I would be delighted to schedule a call to ensure that we are a good fit and that this trip aligns with your expectations. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! 🙌🏻
