Protected by the Montagne Ste Victoire which rises to 1,011m, Aix is surrounded by a countryside with plenty of authentic Provencal houses and traditional French style gardens. Aix was the capital of Provence in the 15th century. Rich merchants and local dignitaries helped to turn this city into the Florence of Provence as we know it today. You can find all the beauty of the noble Provence of the17th and 18th centuries: beautiful houses of the upper class, private mansions, city squares bursting with flowers, ancient fountains and shaded narrow streets.
Aix was the inspiration to many of the greatest writers and painters: Guigou, Stendhal, Mistral, Zola, and Cézanne. There is even a special Cezanne tour which one can follow through the streets of Aix stopping at points marked with a C.
As a city of art and culture Aix offers a wealth of superb architecture that has been carefully preserved and restored. Walking through the Cours Mirabeau and the Rue Gaston de Saporta one can admire the private mansions with their sculptured doors and windows and the intricate iron work on the balconies. Discerning shoppers choose the stylish boutiques in the quartier Mazarin. Each summer the International Festival of Lyric Arts and Music is held there. The Dance Festival is also world famous.
