Begin your walking tour of Aix-en-Provence, a city founded by the Romans in 122 BC because of its healing thermal springs. Aix-en-Provence has spent over two thousand years perfecting the 'Art de Vivre'—the art of living well.
As you walk through the streets, look at the colours around you. Notice the warm, honey-colored limestone buildings? That is the 'Pierre de Calissanne', which glows under the city's 300 days of annual sunshine.
Discover why Aix is known as the 'City of a Thousand Fountains'. From moss-covered ancient stones to grand monuments, the sound of flowing water is the heartbeat of this city.
Learn about the city's art scene, as the hometown of Paul Cézanne. He didn't just paint here; he captured the soul of this landscape. See the same light and shadows that birthed Modern Art.
Stroll along the Cours Mirabeau, one of the most beautiful boulevards in Europe. It’s the perfect place to see and be seen, just as the French nobility did in the 17th century.
