Sail to Marseille’s Frioul Islands for sunset, swimming, organic wine, and a fresh buffet dinner aboard a classic yacht.

“We had the most amazing time aboard Le Don Du Vent! The evening sail was magical to a lovely cove in the Frioul Islands. Sipping local wines with the most incredible food while the sun sets in the distance made for an experience of a lifetime. The staff were so friendly and made the experience even better by cultivating a relaxing but sociable atmosphere. This was by far the highlight of our trip to Marseille. We can’t wait to come back!”

Learn three cocktail styles in a Paris Bastille speakeasy, with three drinks, a tasting board, and English or French instruction for $44.

“Bon moment partagé en couple. C’est plus une dégustation de cocktail qu’un cours de cocktail. On nous fait faire les cocktails avec les checker et 3 recettes différentes donc 3 cocktails chacun avec une planche de charcuterie et de fromage. Moment qui dure plus de 2h car c’est en groupe. Donc le seul point négatif c’est le fait d’être presser car il y a des groupes après donc à revoir Sinon bonne expérience.”

We learned a lot, had great fun under excellent guidance, and received many valuable tips about both cocktails and Paris. We definitely recommend this activity. Thank you so much for the exciting and wonderful experience and the attentive way to adapt to our group.”
