Aix-en-Provence combines Provençal elegance with the atmosphere of a medium-sized city. Explore its old town on foot, among historic façades, fountains, shady squares and markets selling local produce. The Chemin du Vallon de Bagnols area is away from the liveliest streets, while still allowing you to reach the historic districts and their museums. The city suits lovers of art, heritage and walks, as well as those who want to explore the Provençal countryside.

Atelier Cézanne, housed in the painter's studio, offers a glimpse into his world and work. Musée Granet displays art collections in a townhouse in the centre. Saint-Sauveur Cathedral brings together several architectural periods, while Pavillon Vendôme combines a museum with a formal French garden. Aix-en-Provence train station is 2.6 km away and Marseille-Provence Airport is 20 km away; a car makes it easier to travel to the region's villages and natural areas. The city's parks and gardens also offer places to take a break between visits.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for exploring the centre and its surroundings on foot, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In summer, plan heritage visits for the morning or late afternoon, then take a break in the shade during the hottest hours. You could spend a day visiting Cézanne's studios, walking through the old streets and exploring a Provençal market. For an excursion, the landscapes of Montagne Sainte-Victoire recall the painter's works and are suited to hiking, depending on the season and weather conditions.
