About Aix-en-Provence

Aix-en-Provence lies in the south of France between Marseille and the Luberon hills. Its main street is Cours Mirabeau, lined with cafes and plane trees. The old quarter spreads out from there with narrow lanes, fountains, and small squares.

The Atelier de Cézanne preserves the studio of the artist on a hill above the town. Travelers come here for art and the calm pace of the region. It fits a trip that mixes culture with time in the countryside and markets.
