Bouc-Bel-Air is a Provençal municipality in Bouches-du-Rhône, between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. The landscape combines residential areas, wooded spaces and bastides, in an area where a car makes getting around easier. The villa is in an area of the municipality suited to stays with family or friends, with gardens and parks to explore nearby. You can alternate city visits and walks with quiet time at the house.

Albertas Park, with its gardens and pathways, is less than a kilometre away. In Aix-en-Provence, the Vasarely Foundation displays the artist’s monumental works, while the Granet Museum exhibits collections ranging from antiquity to modern art. The Atelier Cézanne offers a chance to discover the painter’s workplace. The Camp des Milles Memorial recounts the history of the former internment camp. Simiane and Gardanne railway stations serve the area; Marseille-Provence Airport is 14 km away. A car is useful for reaching these sights and nearby towns.

Spring and autumn are pleasant times to visit Aix and walk in the parks, before the intense summer heat. You could start the day with a cultural visit in Aix, continue with lunch on a terrace, then end it in the villa’s garden. Marseille offers another outing, with the Vieux-Port, museums and coastal neighbourhoods. In summer, plan outdoor activities for the morning and enjoy the air conditioning during the hottest hours. Excursions can also include a stop in the Provençal villages nearby.
