Aix-en-Provence combines an old town of warm-blond stone façades, narrow streets and numerous fountains. Around Cours Mirabeau, shaded squares and private mansions give the city a lively Provençal character, appreciated as much for its heritage as for its museums and terraces. Rue Cardinale is in this historic setting, in an area where the main sights in the centre are easy to reach on foot.

The Granet Museum, devoted in particular to fine art, is 50 m away. At 220 m, Hôtel de Caumont – Centre d’Art hosts exhibitions in an 18th-century private mansion. The Fontaine des Quatre-Dauphins and the Église Saint-Jean-de-Malte are among the neighbourhood's landmarks. The Atelier Cézanne, dedicated to the Aix-born painter, is 1.5 km away. Aix-en-Provence railway station is 600 m away, with connections to regional rail services. Marseille Provence Airport is accessible by road.

The centre is best explored at an unhurried pace, strolling from one square to another, visiting the Granet Museum's collections and taking a break around Cours Mirabeau. Spring and autumn are well suited to walks, with generally milder temperatures; summer brings more heat and activity. For an excursion, the landscapes of Montagne Sainte-Victoire, associated with Cézanne's work, offer another perspective on the Aix region. Markets and fountains also shape your exploration of the centre, whatever the season.
