Aix en Provence is a graceful Provençal city known for its sunlit boulevards its fountains and its artistic heritage. The old town is filled with narrow lanes calm squares and warm stone buildings that create a gentle inviting atmosphere. At the center lies the Cours Mirabeau a broad tree lined avenue with cafés and townhouses that reflect centuries of elegant urban life. Aix is closely linked to the painter Paul Cézanne whose studio and favorite landscapes still shape the city’s identity. Markets gardens and the soft light of Provence give the city a relaxed rhythm where culture history and everyday living come together in a bright balanced way.
