Aix-en-Provence is best explored among the old town’s historic façades, fountains and shady squares. Cours Mirabeau is a broad avenue lined with plane trees, terraces and grand townhouses. The surrounding streets are dotted with shops, markets and narrow passageways; the Provençal atmosphere appeals to visitors interested in heritage as well as those drawn to museums and galleries.

The Fontaine des Quatre-Dauphins is 200 m away and marks the entrance to the Mazarin district, known for its classical townhouses. The Musée Granet, with its painting and sculpture collections, is 300 m away. Hôtel de Caumont - Centre d'Art hosts exhibitions in a historic townhouse, 120 m away. Cézanne’s studio, dedicated to the Aix-born painter, is a 1.3 km walk. Aix-en-Provence railway station is 550 m away and connects the centre with regional destinations.

Throughout the seasons, markets give the city its daily rhythm, with Provençal produce, flowers and local specialities varying from stall to stall. Spring and autumn are well suited to exploring on foot, when the temperatures make long walks between squares and museums pleasant. In summer, it is best to plan cultural visits for the cooler hours and leave time for breaks in the shade. A day can take in the Mazarin district, the collections at the Musée Granet and a stroll along Cours Mirabeau, before continuing through the old streets to discover their fountains and façades.
