Top experiences in Aix-en-Provence
Cours Mirabeau
The main avenue of Aix. Lined with plane trees, fountains, and cafes. It is the place to embrace the French art of ‘flâner’ (strolling aimlessly). Les Deux Garçons is the famous brasserie where Cézanne and Zola hung out.
Atelier Cézanne (Studio)
The studio where Paul Cézanne worked for the last 4 years of his life. It has been left exactly as it was—his coat, palette, and the objects he painted (apples, vases) are still there. It is a pilgrimage for art lovers.
Saint-Sauveur Cathedral
A cathedral built on the site of a Roman forum. It mixes Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. The Cloister is a peaceful gem. The triptych of the Burning Bush (15th century) is its treasure.
Place d'Albertas
A beautiful baroque square that looks like a theatre set. It is paved with cobblestones and surrounded by elegant mansions. It is small but photogenic. In summer, musicians often play here.
Mont Sainte-Victoire
The limestone mountain that dominates the landscape east of Aix. Cézanne painted it over 80 times. You can hike to the Cross or visit the Bibémus Quarries to see the orange rock shapes that inspired cubism.

Culture, customs and safety
Cultural heritage
Aix-en-Provence preserves its legacy as the historic capital of Provence and birthplace of Post-Impressionism where Paul Cézanne painted Montagne Sainte-Victoire over 80 times. Founded as Aquae Sextiae in 123 BCE around thermal springs, Roman ruins include the amphitheater beneath Palais de Justice. The medieval Old Town features the 12th-century Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur blending Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. Cours Mirabeau, lined with 17th-century hôtels particuliers and plane trees, epitomizes French elegance. The city maintains calisson candy-making traditions since 1454 and hosts the prestigious Festival d’Aix opera festival since 1948. Traditional Provençal markets offer lavender, herbs, and santons (nativity figurines) maintaining regional craft heritage.
Local customs & etiquette
Provençal culture saturates Aix with markets offering lavender, olive oil, and herbs defining regional identity. The city of Cézanne maintains artistic traditions with numerous galleries and the painter’s preserved studio. Café culture thrives along Cours Mirabeau where Zola and Cézanne once gathered. The university presence since 1409 keeps the city youthful and intellectual. Calissons d’Aix (almond candy) have been made since the 15th century. The fountain city (city of a thousand fountains) uses water as architectural element. Apéro time is sacred with pastís and rosé wine. Southern French relaxation means shops close 12-2 PM and Sundays. The mistral wind shapes local life with shuttered windows and wind-protected cafés.
