Short description of Aix-en-Provence
Aix-en-Provence is an elegant university city in southern France and the historic capital of Provence. This sun-drenched city is known for its numerous fountains, plane tree-lined boulevards, Provençal markets, and lively café terraces along the Cours Mirabeau. As the hometown of Paul Cézanne, Aix is closely associated with art. His studio and the nearby Montagne Sainte-Victoire, which he painted time and again, remain enduring reminders of the celebrated artist. Aix-en-Provence combines historic townhouses and winding lanes with a vibrant cultural scene, Mediterranean charm, and the distinctive art of Provençal living.
