Les Milles is in the western part of Aix-en-Provence, in a Provençal plain where residential neighbourhoods sit alongside business areas and paths lined with vegetation. The area is quieter than the streets of the historic centre, while still offering access to the city’s cultural attractions. The Camp des Milles is a reminder of an important chapter in 20th-century history; its former industrial building is now a place of remembrance and a visitor site.

Aix city centre offers the chance to explore Cours Mirabeau, its fountains and the lanes of the old town. Musée Granet houses art and archaeology collections, while Atelier Cézanne recalls the painter who was born in Aix. The Vasarely Foundation displays the artist’s monumental geometric works. The Camp des Milles memorial site is 600 m away; Aix-en-Provence TGV station is 7 km away and Marseille-Provence Airport is 14 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between Les Milles and Aix’s various neighbourhoods.

For a day in the city, you could spend the morning in the old centre and at the markets, then visit a museum or follow the places associated with Cézanne. Spring and autumn are well suited to walks, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In summer, plan outdoor visits for early in the day and save museums for the hottest hours. The villages and landscapes of the Aix countryside offer another way to discover Provence on an excursion.
