Villages, landscapes and walks
Aix-en-Provence can be explored on foot, through its lanes, squares and fountains. Museums, markets and café terraces set the rhythm of days in town. When choosing a B&B or holiday cottage, decide where to base your stay: close to the centre for sightseeing on foot, or in the countryside for exploring the Pays d’Aix.
From La Rotonde, Cours Mirabeau separates the old town from the Mazarin district. To the north, lanes lead to Place d’Albertas, the Town Hall and Saint-Sauveur Cathedral. To the south, the Mazarin district can be explored through townhouses and streets around the Fountain of the Four Dolphins.
The Musée Granet, Cézanne’s studio and the Vasarely Foundation give art a place in your stay. Between visits, squares and café terraces offer a break. A short walk from the Town Hall, the market in Place Richelme brings together Provençal produce beneath the plane trees.
To the east, the road through Le Tholonet leads to the foot of Sainte-Victoire, through landscapes associated with Cézanne. On the northern side, Vauvenargues offers another approach to the mountain. West of Aix, the Roquefavour Aqueduct crosses the Arc Valley and provides another outing.
To the south, Marseille is accessible from Aix in around 45 minutes by train or 35 to 50 minutes by bus, depending on traffic. This connection makes a day trip without a car possible.
To the north, the villages of the Luberon lend themselves to a day trip. Choose one area for these outings rather than adding too many stops. You can then alternate days in town, walks around Sainte-Victoire and village discoveries.
Spring and autumn suit sightseeing and walks. Summer brings festivals and evenings on café terraces; favour mornings for walking. In winter, museums, markets and the life of the old town offer a cultural weekend break.
Yes, with accommodation in town or well served by buses. The old town can be explored on foot. A car makes it easier to visit the villages of the Pays d’Aix and nearby mountain areas.
