Aix-en-Provence is a charming Provençal city with a rich history that combines aristocratic heritage and a lively modern rhythm. Narrow streets, sunny squares and countless fountains create a unique atmosphere: here you can feel the spirit of artists and merchant slowness, and every corner breathes the history and light of Provence.
Man-made attractions of the city are concentrated in the historical center: lively markets, held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and especially large on Saturdays, demonstrate the gastronomic and craft traditions of the region. The monument to Paul Cezanne reminds of the great artist whose paintings glorified these places. The town hall of the XVI century with a Gothic clock tower, the majestic cathedral of the XII century and numerous museums, cozy squares and ancient mansions make up the guide list of what to see in Aix-en-Provence.
