Aix-en-Provence

Aix-en-Provence is located north of Marseille, in the Provence region of France. This historic university town is straight out of a picture postcard with its tree-lined boulevards and public squares surrounded by stately mansions showcasing 17th and 18th century architecture. The most famous of these is the Cours Mirabeau with its many fountains and pavement cafes perfect for people-watching. The birthplace of the famous painter Paul Cezanne, the city is a cultural hub packed with museums, galleries and libraries. Prominent among these are the Musee Granet, with over 12,000 works of art, and Atelier Cezanne, the studio where the master artist worked in the last years of his life. The many street markets here offer a glimpse into local life and the region’s natural bounty.
