Aix-en-Provence brings together an old town with honey-coloured façades, shady squares and a cultural life shaped by painting and architecture. Around Cours Mirabeau, fountains punctuate walks between townhouses, terraces and pedestrian streets. Boulevard du Roi René provides easy access to this urban landscape, which is well suited to exploring on foot as you take your time visiting the squares and narrow streets of the historic centre.

Musée Granet, 100 m away, displays fine art collections and exhibitions in a former priory. Fontaine des Quatre-Dauphins and the neighbourhood’s townhouses illustrate Aix architecture. Atelier de Cézanne, 1.6 km away, preserves the painter’s workplace and offers insight into his connection with the city and the landscapes of Provence. Aix-en-Provence railway station is 700 m away; Marseille-Provence Airport is 20 km away. For trips beyond the centre, a car makes it easier to reach the surrounding villages and countryside.

Aix can be visited all year round: mild seasons are suited to walks and museum visits, while summer invites you to alternate between shady streets and breaks by the fountains. You can start the day at the market and the town-centre squares, continue to Musée Granet, then finish on Cours Mirabeau. In spring and autumn, the light of Provence is particularly well suited to walks through the city and trips to Montagne Sainte-Victoire.
