Even the most urban corners of Aix-en-Provence hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Cours Mirabeau and Cezanne's studio offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Mont Sainte-Victoire for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
An elegant Provencal city of tree-lined boulevards, splashing fountains, and the light that inspired Cezanne.
