Fountains line the squares, while the markets offer a chance to discover produce from Provence.

Saint-Sauveur Cathedral and the Musée Granet are among the cultural sights to visit; the museum features painting collections and exhibitions. The Cours Mirabeau, lined with plane trees and historic buildings, leads towards the lively districts of the centre. The Atelier Cézanne explores the life and work of the Aix-born painter.

Aix is a pleasant city to explore on foot, taking time to wander from square to lane and stop at museums. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often suitable for outdoor sightseeing; in summer, the heat makes it worth planning walks for early morning or late afternoon. An excursion to Montagne Sainte-Victoire offers a change of scenery and a chance to enjoy Provençal trails. In the city, you can spend a day exploring collections, markets and fountains, then finish with a stroll along the Cours Mirabeau.
