Aix-en-Provence is a cozy Provençal city with a rich culture and atmosphere that is appreciated by artists and travelers from all over the world. Located in the heart of Provence and convenient as a starting point for day and multi-day forays, the city combines a mild climate, picturesque streets and convenient logistics for trips to neighboring regions, including a link to Marseille.
The historical part of the city keeps traces of aristocratic and bourgeois eras: ancient mansions, narrow cobbled streets, fairs and museums tell about the life of Aix-en-Provence through the centuries. Walks in the center allow you to see the architecture of the XVII-XIX centuries, the markets on the square and the atmosphere that inspired many painters. Local museums and monuments help to better understand the cultural heritage of the region and its role in the history of Provence.
The surroundings offer impressive nature: from quiet rivers and ditches with olive groves to the picturesque villages of Ile-sur-Sorgue and Mustiers, where it is convenient to go for a day from Aix-en-Provence. Fans of outdoor activities have access to hiking routes, cycling in the hills of Provence and trips to the Verdon Gorge and picturesque markets, where the spirit of the region is truly felt. The changing landscapes and light of Provence create ideal conditions for photo and plein air walks.
Excursion formats are flexible: you can choose individual programs for families and couples or join group tours, combining walking around the old town and car trips around the neighborhood. For the convenience of guests, both short routes in the center and extended routes with stops in nearby villages are available. Tours in Russian are also organized, which makes acquaintance with the region clear and comfortable.
An experienced local guide doesn’t just follow the route, but reveals the stories, legends and small details that make the trip lively and memorable. The opportunity to book excursions with a Russian-speaking guide facilitates communication and allows you to dive deeper into the culture and life of Provence. Book your favorite route and discover Aix-en-Provence in a convenient format - from a leisurely walk through the streets to a rich car tour of the best corners of Provence.
