EVANA is an agency that plans and leads hiking tours in Provence. We will offer any tour for your group, in any mountain around Provence (Calanques of Marseille and Cassis, mount Sainte Victoire, Côte Bleue, Luberon, Alpilles and Saint Rémy de Provence, …). Every guide in the agency is a professional hiker that will lead the group for an hour or two, for half a day or a whole day, or several days in a row.
Every hike is handcrafted for the group : the comments, length, difficulty, place will be adapted to your wish : each customer is a special guest !

EVANA can offer any kind of tour : 1 hour around Aix en Provence, or half a day, a full day in the hills, or a program for a hole week, discovering Provence a little more each day.
We can colour our hikes with a special theme : walking on the steps of Paul Cézanne, Mediterranean flora, Van Gogh’s trails, seashore walks and swims, vine tasting… As a matter of facts, we can help you find out what kind of tour you or your customers would really like : each project is unique. Evana can provide you the perfect local guide speaking French, English, German or Italian. Evana can also help you find the right hotel, or the fine restaurant for your group.

EVANA takes you through the landscapes of Provence all year long (excepted in July and August) :

• the vertical white cliffs diving into the deep blue sea of the Calanques of Marseille and Cassis
• Cézannes’s Sainte Victoire, a 3300 feet mountain facing Aix en Provence
• Luberon, where ocher quarries, borries (dry stone hut) and charming hilltop villages will make your day unforgettable
• Côte Bleue, for a sea shore hike
• Van Gogh’s footsteps in les Alpilles, between St Rémy de Provence and les Baux
• And many more surprising and delightful places like Garlaban, Camargue (birdwatching), Sainte Baume…
  
  

  Weather in Provence is so gentle, that hiking is a pleasure all year long, but in the summer time. Indeed, it is so crowded, very hot and dry in the summer, that event the County restricts the access to the trails. That’s why groups are welcomed from the 15th of September to the end of June.

Since 5 years, they have been trusting us to plan and lead their tours :

• Companies like EDF, GDF, ATMEL electronics, Nature et Découvertes, CAF13
• Tourism Offices and Committees of Marseille, Aix en Provence, Aubagne
• Agencies like Canadian Women Travel, Van Gogh Tours, LSO international, Activ’Provence, Anytours international, Fontana tourisme, Phillibert Tourisme
• Schools and Universities like Columbia, Brown, elementary schools of the area, pensioner universities of Aix and Marseille
