Itinerary
It’s where Aix breathes and performs—cafés, fountains, mansions, and people-watching at its finest. This is the city’s soul on display, and no walking tour is complete without it.
From a Roman temple to a Gothic cathedral, this single façade tells a thousand-year story. Even without entering, it stuns with layered architecture and solemn beauty.
Baroque façades curve around a fountain in a pocket-sized square. It’s one of the most photogenic—and strangely calming—places in town. Locals love it for its symmetry and stillness.
With its Renaissance town hall, intricate clock tower, and colorful daily activity (markets, weddings, protests), this square connects you to the city’s political and human pulse.
This orderly 17th-century neighborhood shows Aix’s aristocratic side. At its center, a whimsical dolphin fountain breaks the silence—a local favorite and visual delight.

About Aix-en-Provence
Aix-en-Provence is an elegant university town in Provence, with plane-shaded boulevards, fountains, markets and the hills Cézanne painted.
Aix-en-Provence was founded by the Romans in 122 BC beside hot springs and later became the capital of Provence. The Cours Mirabeau, a broad avenue shaded by plane trees, divides the old town from the newer quarter, with cafés on one side and old mansions on the other, and fountains run in the small squares behind. Thermal springs still feed its baths.
Top-ranked sights in Aix-en-Provence: Cours Mirabeau, Lake of Sainte-Croix (Lac de Sainte-Croix), Valensole Plateau (Plateau De Valensole).
