Aix-en-Provence Walking Tour
Aix-en-Provence, France
Why Walk Aix-en-Provence
Aix-en-Provence is the refined counterpart to nearby Marseille — a city of honey-colored buildings, more than a hundred fountains, and a cultural sophistication rooted in its history as the capital of Provence. Paul Cezanne was born here and spent his life painting the surrounding landscape, especially Mont Sainte-Victoire. The Cours Mirabeau, a wide boulevard shaded by plane trees, is one of the great streets of France.
