Why Visit Aix-en-Provence, France

Located in southern France, Aix-en-Provence is a city providing splendid architecture, numerous opportunities to explore art and other pieces of cultural heritage, as well as admire the beautiful nature and bustling narrow streets. With numerous festivals taking part in the city each year, an Aix-en-Provence tour is always full of fun pursuits and activities, attracting a growing number of tourists each year.

Aix-en-Provence sightseeing must include the old part of the city and Place de l'Hotel de Ville. This square is located right by the town hall dating back to the 15th century and is now among the most popular tourist destinations. It features a beautiful fountain with a golden laurel decorated globe, as well as a 14th-century Clock Tower. Another object worth your attention on the site is the Corn Exchange, formerly used for trade, currently open as a post office. Walking around the square and the narrow city streets will surely take you back in time.

Some other highlights of the Aix-en-Provence itinerary are the museums. The Musee Granet is one of the most popular ones in the city, exhibiting collections of neoclassical sculptures, as well as examples of American pop art and even some original artwork by Picasso. The Musee Estienne de Saint Jean is also worth visiting, depicting the culture and history of Aix-en-Provence in an elegant 17th-century mansion.

Another stop of great significance in the city is the Atelier Cezanne. Native to the region, the post-impressionist painter Paul Cezanne is the pride of Aix-en-Provence, making walking around the city feel as if stepping into the footsteps of the 19th-century genius. His studio, called the Atelier Cezanne, is now displayed for the public with most of the artifacts left untouched.

Make sure to visit the Cathedrale Saint-Sauveur d'Aix-en-Provence featuring elements of Gothic and Neo-Gothic styles, Roman columns and a beautiful bell tower. Monuments like such and experiences while exploring the city makes the Aix-en-Provence travel a one-of-a-kind journey.
