The cultural life of Aix-en-Provence runs far deeper than its headline attractions. Places like Cezanne's studio and Place des Quatre Dauphins are only the beginning, and quieter spots like Pavillon de Vendome reveal traditions that tourist crowds never reach. Walking connects you to the living traditions that make this city unforgettable.
