The town is also famous for its thermal springs. It can be difficult to park in the old town. You are best parking in the under ground car parks a 10 min walk from the centre. When we visited Aix we stayed in a Gite about 10 miles out of the town. It was ideal for visiting the town and the small villages in the area. It is also great to sit by your own pool with a cold drink after a long day in the hot sun. There are plenty of Gites in the region to pick from like the one in the photo.
