toseaornottosea Posted December 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2016 May be difficult on the 25th but you might want to see if you can find a half-day tour to Aix-en-Provence. Not far from port and a beautiful town to walk around in and take in all the local flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The locals that answer questions there would have a better idea of what you will face logistically going anywhere in that area on Christmas Day.

buggins0402 Posted December 3, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Sorry folks ........ we arrive on December 21st !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL...ok, I can help with a DIY option that's pretty easy. Take a taxi from the cruise ship to the bus/train station. Take one or the other to Aix en Provence. Bus is cheaper, runs a bit more frequently and is only a bit slower. Looks like there will be a Christmas market which should add to the charm: https://www.seeprovence.com/events/calendar/christmas-market-aix-en-provence.html http://www.aixenprovencetourism.com/en/?detail=5097&_escaped_fragment_= Edited December 3, 2016 by buggins0402 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
