Aix en provence
Often referred to as ‘The City of Fountains", Aix en Provence has a rich historical and cultural heritage. Visitors are almost guaranteed a warm welcome in this friendly town, one of the most beautiful towns in France. Historically, Aix is the ancient capital of the Provence region; a thoroughly deserving accolade and the colour of the gold stone facades of its buildings, combined with its pleasant tranquil parks blend the traditional and modern to create a stunning location.
Aix houses an unrivalled collection of art by Paul Cezanne who spent a large part of his life in the town. Cezanne tours are one of the more popular excursions on offer in the area. The school of drawing which he used to attend in his early days is now a museum.
Ringed by a series of pleasant boulevards, the town offers a wide range of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. There are also a wide range of leisure activities and visitor attraction available within easy reach such as: hiking, biking, swimming, climbing (the San-Victoire mountain is a short drive away) or a visit to the zoo. In such a beautiful area, you never have to drive far to discover a hidden chateau or a fabulous church. There is even a theme park in the area.
