Aix en Provence City Walking Tours- English Language

Tour is in English. I have lived and worked in the UK, USA, Asia and am now settled in Aix. I tok over a year long trip around the world with my family . We took a lot of walking tours, its the best way to get to know a city. The tours I liked best were small in size ( so you can hear easily, ask questions) The guide knew the history of course , but also could tell interesting stories, not just the dates. So thats what I do here in Aix.
So as well hearing the stories of Aix , you may want to find out what its like to move to France and live in Aix now. Whatever we discuss, we will have an interesting couple of hours together.
