A walk with anecdotes, humorous and sometimes wicked…
"Unexpected Aix" is a walk through the city with street
storyteller Jean-Pierre Cassely. Using the names of streets and
monuments and the commemorative plaques on buildings, he will
describe great and small moments in the life of Aix past and present:
anecdotes that are sometimes unheard of, sometimes surprising,
at times comical, but always fascinating.
Let him take you back in time like an unseen observer, listening
to the people and stories that stirred "the loveliest city
in France". Behind the thick walls of the Cours Mirabeau
mansions flows a history that is sometimes as warm as the water
of its fountains…
Libertines and Courtesans
“Libertines & Courtesans” is
a walking tour in the city with street story-teller Jean-Pierre
Cassely, who describes the amorous, dissolute and libertine past
of the capital of Provence.
Anecdotes, local history and interesting facts are combined with
national history and personalities as emblematic as Sade and
Casanova.
