Aix en Provence, Art town, Spa town
Protected by Montagne Sainte Victoire, the 1,011m high paradise for walkers and climbers, Aix en Provence is surrounded by well-preserved countryside and traditional Provençal bastides in gardens ‘à la française’.
A town of art and spas, Aix is a marvellous example of the Provençal lifestyle. It is also the town of the artist, Cézanne, who took inspiration for several of his greatest impressionist masterpieces from the surrounding countryside.
Aix-en-Provence old town and the Cours Mirabeau
Boulevards shaded by majestic plain trees like the famous Cours Mirabeau, narrow streets lined with sumptuous mansions, discreet squares with beautiful fountains and friendly pavement cafés… a wonderful setting to make the most of the 300 days of sunshine annually.
Stroll along the boulevards, around the old town and the Quartier Mazarin and stop off at one of the many cafés or at one of the markets which are held almost every day : flower market, fruit and vegetable market and the big weekly market.
