Sleeping arrangements vary between the studios: the first offers a large double bed or two single beds, while the second has a very large double bed or two single beds, always with a sofa bed.

Luggage storage and laundry services are also available.

Aix-en-Provence combines a historic centre with honey-coloured façades, shaded squares and fountains, as well as a cultural life shaped by painting. Mas des Pignes is in the Saint-Donat area, north of the centre, in a more residential setting. This address suits travellers who want to alternate city walks with time in the garden or by the pool. A car makes it easier to get around from this part of Aix.

Atelier Cézanne, the painter's former home and workplace, offers a glimpse into his world and the objects he kept. Terrain des Peintres is a viewpoint associated with the landscapes painted by Cézanne, including Montagne Sainte-Victoire. In the centre, Saint-Sauveur Cathedral brings together several periods of architecture, while Musée Granet displays art and archaeology collections. Aix-en-Provence railway station is 2.6 km away; Marseille Provence Airport is 21 km away. Free private parking is available on site.

For a first visit, spend a day exploring the streets of Aix's old town, the fountains along Cours Mirabeau and the collections at Musée Granet, then set aside another half-day for Atelier Cézanne and the landscapes at Terrain des Peintres. Spring and autumn are well suited to sightseeing on foot, with temperatures often more pleasant than on the hottest summer days in Provence. In summer, plan walks for the morning and spend the hottest hours by the pool or taking a break in the shade. The surrounding area also makes it possible to plan excursions to Montagne Sainte-Victoire.
