A city where life is good. Take a stroll through this historic capital of the Provence, this university city and centre of art and culture, and check out its rich architectural heritage.

The famous Cours Mirabeau with its friendly pavement cafés, the proximity of the countryside, and the many cultural and sporting events make Aix a dynamic city, which has moved with the times. The gentle lifestyle and the unique interplay of light and shadow have inspired numerous painters, not least Paul Cézanne, who immortalised many Provencal landscapes on canvas. The immediate surroundings of Aix are second-to-none: the Camargue, the Lubéron, the Alpilles and the Mediterranean coast are only a stone’s throw away.
