Aix-en-Provence combines the narrow streets of its old town, café-lined squares and the more open avenues of its residential districts. The View Aix-en-Provence is in the western part of the city, in an urban setting from which you can head into the centre for a stroll, visit museums or linger on a terrace. The fountains and façades of the town houses give the city its Provençal character, while markets and pedestrian streets set the pace of the day. This property suits travellers who want to explore Aix and return to a garden and swimming pool after their visits.

You can explore the old town on foot, around Cours Mirabeau, the shopping streets and Saint-Sauveur Cathedral. The Musée Granet displays art collections in a historic town house, while the Atelier Cézanne offers a glimpse into the painter’s workplace. The Terrain des Peintres is a viewpoint associated with the landscapes that inspired Cézanne. Aix-en-Provence railway station is 3.5 km away; Marseille-Provence Airport is 20 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between the centre and the sights of the Provençal countryside.

In spring and autumn, mild temperatures are well suited to walks around the centre and trips to nearby villages. Summer brings hot days, so it is best to plan outdoor visits for the morning and spend the hottest hours in museums or by the pool. You could start the day in Aix’s narrow streets and by its fountains, continue to the Musée Granet or the Atelier Cézanne, then finish in the garden. The hills and landscapes of Montagne Sainte-Victoire offer another outing for travellers with a car.
