Aix-en-Provence

Aix-en-Provence is a refined yet lively town where history, food and southern landscapes come together beautifully. Elegant boulevards, shaded squares and graceful fountains reflect its past as the historic capital of Provence. Stroll along Cours Mirabeau, explore the atmospheric old town, and visit Saint-Sauveur Cathedral, where architectural styles span centuries. Art lovers can follow in Cézanne’s footsteps, from his studio to the landscapes that inspired his paintings.
The region’s gastronomy is a highlight, with markets brimming with olives, cheeses, herbs and the famous calissons d’Aix. Local restaurants celebrate Provençal cuisine paired with regional wines. Just outside town, scenic drives lead to vineyards, lavender fields and the dramatic Sainte-Victoire Mountain, ideal for hiking, viewpoints and peaceful nature breaks.
