Historic capital of Provence and one of the most desired regions of France as a holiday destination, Aix-en Provence is attractive for many reasons.

Another point of attraction is the daily market in the Richelme square with fruits, vegetables, fresh products, and even aromatic lavender, one of the hallmarks of the region. The old town with its narrow streets and buildings of ocher facades is enchanting.

it is in Aix where the painter Paul Cézanne was born. Get to know his extraordinary work through three places: the artist's workshop, the family property of Jas de Bouffan and the Bibémus quarries. The entire city boasts a rich architectural heritage. With a Roman origin, the magnificent Cathedral of San Salvador was built on the ancient temple of Apollo, which combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque art.
