Aix-en-Provence is situated between the Rhone River and the Esterel Mountains, the foothills of the Southern Alps and the Mediterranean Sea.
At the heart of the Pays d’Aix, the countryside surrounding it, the city is a must for visitors. A geographic crossroads.
As the historic capital of Provence, Aix still exhibits the noble beauty of its architecture, but its attractiveness goes beyond past grandeur. Aix, the contemporary, a truly buoyant cultural city, will today satisfy the cultural appetites of everyone, while remaining a human-sized town where strolling in the pedestrian streets is a delight in itself.
In fact pleasure is an integral part of everyday life here. Be it thru its fragrant cuisine, regional wines, the taste for “good things” and wellbeing is a way of life, in other words an art of living.
