Rich in history and culture, Aix en Provence and the surrounding region have inspired artists from Hemingway to Cézanne. Take a stroll down the scenic Cours Mirabeau (800 m/10 min) and you’ll understand why. Take a stop at the Brasserie des Deux Garçons, one of their favorite hangouts and you can taste the sweetness of life in Provence. Many of the major sights in the old city are just a quick walk away, including the architecturally complex Cathedral of the Holy Savior (260m/3min), the world-renowned art of the Musée Granet (850m/11min), and the remarkable mansions of the Quartier Mazarin (1.2km/16min) just south of the old town.

Access to Aix from farther away is also easy, whether by the TGV high-speed train station (17km/21min), the Marseille Provence Airport (27km/26min), or the Autoroutes (highway), two of which meet right outside central Aix. There is parking lot located one block away at the Parking Pasteur, just outside the city gates.
