Aix-en-Provence combines old streets, shady squares and grand town houses around Cours Mirabeau. The property is in a more rural area north of the city, among wine estates, Provençal villages and countryside. It suits travellers who want to visit the old town while staying away from its bustle, or alternate cultural visits with time in the garden. A car makes it easier to get around the area.

In central Aix, Atelier Cézanne recalls the painter's connection with the city, while Musée Granet houses art collections in a former priory building. Saint-Sauveur Cathedral and its cloister offer a chance to discover several periods of architecture. To the north, Venelles makes a stop in a Provençal village, and the surrounding wine estates offer another glimpse of the local landscape. Marseille-Provence Airport is 24 km away; Aix-en-Provence railway station is 9 km away. The city's public transport network and regional roads connect the area with the centre and neighbouring towns.

For a first day, you could spend the morning exploring the old town's lanes and market squares, then visit a museum or the painter's studio in the afternoon. Spring and autumn are well suited to walks in the countryside and visits to the estates, with temperatures generally milder than in the height of summer. In summer, plan city visits for early in the day and save the hottest hours for a break by the pool. The surrounding villages and heritage sites are easy to explore by car on short trips from Aix.
