Aix-en-Provence is a city in the Aix region known for its fountains, old façades and association with Paul Cézanne. rue Roux Alphéran is in the old town, among narrow streets, historic townhouses and shady squares. The Cours Mirabeau, lined with plane trees and lively with café terraces, sets the tone for a stroll around the city. You can explore the markets, museums and shopping streets on foot, or stop for a while in a square by a fountain.

The Musée Granet, dedicated to fine art and regional collections, is 150 m away. At 170 m, Hôtel de Caumont houses an art centre in an 18th-century townhouse, with exhibitions and a garden. The Cours Mirabeau is 100 m away and has several fountains, including Fontaine des Quatre-Dauphins. Atelier Cézanne, the painter’s former home and workplace, is 1.5 km away. Aix-en-Provence railway station is within walking distance; Marseille-Provence Airport is 20 km away. A car can be useful for exploring the villages and countryside around the city, but the old town is easy to get around on foot.

Aix is worth visiting all year round: its museums, markets and heritage offer plenty to plan a day around in every season. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often pleasant for strolling through the streets and visiting the collections. Summer days are hot, so consider indoor visits during the sunniest hours and walks in the evening. For a longer outing, you can spend the morning in the old town, then explore Cézanne’s works before returning to the squares and fountains.
