Visit Aix-en-Provence - Beautiful upper class homes and private
mansions perfectly restored and maintained surround and look down on the
many small squares, each one harbouring its fountain, each fountain telling
its own story.
The shaded streets invite you to amble, browse and window shop among the
chic boutiques of the city center.
City of art and culture, Aix is a museum in of itself, the ideal location
for the International Festival of Lyric Arts and Music and perfect setting
for stories written by Stendhal and Zola.
Ancient capital of Provence, city of art and city of water, Aix in Provence
is in the middle of some of the most extraordinary sites and areas to visit:
the mountain of Sainte Victoire, the most painted mountain in the world by
Cézanne, the Calanques with their superb Mediterranean fjords, the Camargue,
the Luberon and the Alpilles.
Aix-en-Provence is less than 3 hours away from Paris by TGV and close to
most European cities thanks to daily flights from Marseille international
airport (map).
