| Aix En Provence Overview |
| Cezanne immortalised the beauty of Aix-en-Provence in his paintings, but even his genius could not capture the heavenly aroma of its bakeries and sidewalk cafes or lavender scented countryside. This city that has been around since 122 BC is surrounded by lush vineyards and hillsides fragrant with wild herbs, and at its centre is the well preserved vieille ville (old town), which has hardly changed since medieval days, with narrow cobbled streets on the south side, and to the north Cezanne's 18th and 19th century mansions. |
| Aix En Provence Essentials |
Cours Mirabeau - The heart of Aix is this beautiful tree-lined avenue with terrace cafes where customers sit under the shade of huge Plane trees.
Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins - Jean-Claude Rambot built this magnificent fountain in 1667 and its waters are still running as refreshingly as they did almost four hundred years ago.
Vieille Ville - Clustered in the old town of Aix are some magnificent old architectural and historical sites as well as museums, markets and shops.
Mazarin District - In 1646 the Archbishop Mazarin started building the townhouses in the area south of the Cours Mirabeau that still stand today.
Sextius Baths - The 18th-century hot-water baths located in a shady park in the northwest corner of Aix are near the site of the original Roman baths. |
