Our tour begins with a visit to the site of Carthage. Carthage (from the Phoenician Kart-Hadasht, or Qrthdst, meaning the new city), in Arabic ( Qartaj) is a city in North Africa, located near Tunis (Tunisia). The ancient Punic capital, destroyed by the Romans, is today a suburb of Tunis and an important archaeological and tourist site...

The site of Carthage is dominated by the hill of Byrsa, which was the center of the Punic metropolis. Today, it is distinguished by the massive silhouette of the Cathedral of Saint Louis, built at the end of the nineteenth century on the presumed site of the burial of the king of France who died there during the last crusade. For the anecdote, King Louis-Philippe I, who was a descendant of Saint Louis, had sent an architect to find the most precise location. Given the impossibility of such a mission, he simply chose the most beautiful place.

Right next to the cathedral, in front of the tomb (empty, his remains were repatriated to France) of Saint-Louis, are the remains of the most important district of the city. Only a few foundations and fragments of columns remain, but one can measure the power that emanated from the city: immense site, large spaces, panoramic views, organization of streets.

Sidi Bou Said : The participants will have 1 hour to stroll in the paved streets of this small jewel of the Mediterranean accompanied by our guide who will not fail to enlighten them on the history of "Sidi Bou". Perched on the heights of a holy hill located a few kilometers from Carthage, this magnificent village proudly overlooks the bay of Tunis.

At the same time religious cradle and muse of the art, this village knew the inspiring impulses of the big ones of this world. The village is also a place of pilgrimage of European artists such as the French writers André Gide and Georges Bernanos as well as the German painter Paul Klee, who frequented the now famous "Café des Nattes" at the top of the village.

Lunch in a local restaurant in the area (to be arranged by you) or if you wish, we can arrange it for you.

But before stopping to sip a delicious mint tea at the terrace of this café, take the time to stroll through the streets of the village to enjoy the vision of immaculate houses, with azure windows hiding behind their studded doors gardens of jasmine that are noted for the perfume they spread.

Continuation to the famous Harbor of Sidi Bou Said to take some pictures and taste the famous tea of the region.

Then back to the hotel.
