A great discovery, a very pleasant and atypical moment to discover the landscapes of Aix. A big thank you to Eric and Kevin for their professionalism and their good humor. We were delighted and will repeat the experience in Cassis.

I had the most incredible experience of the trip today with the sidecar. Eric made us feel at home and so did Kevin! We went on a tour of Marseille that we will never forget. We've been on a luxury Viking ocean cruise for almost two weeks and so far each day has been better than the last. We had no idea what we had planned until the last minute when we booked the sidecar motorcycle tour the day before. What a spectacular way to discover Marseille from being picked up at your door at our ship at the port to crossing city streets and historic sites along the way that we were lucky enough to stop at. Even a church where we could see the city at the top of the mountain and say a prayer inside. We also drove along the ocean and stopped to swim at the beach with the locals and tasted French food and did a bit of shopping at the local markets near the beach. A drive through the national park up to the mountain with stops along the way to admire the city and enjoy a glass of rosé made it even more memorable. We highly recommend Eric and the Vintage Sidecar Tour at La Belle Échappée. We will be back for another tour the next time we visit Marseille!

A wonderful “escape” on a beautiful vintage Ural motorcycle and sidecar. Eric was lovely and shared lots of information about the area. The motorcycle trip was the highlight of my vacation in Aix-en-Provence, which says a lot because every day has been incredible. The beautiful escape indeed! 😁☀️😎
