A visit to Aix-en-Provence as a tourist can be a truly unforgettable experience. This vibrant city in the south of France is filled with beautiful architecture, colorful streets, and a unique culture. There is so much to explore and experience in Aix-en-Provence that you may need more than one visit to take in all the sights and sounds.

To start off your trip, why not take a guided walking tour of the city to get acquainted with the main historical sites? You can visit the Cathedral of the Holy Saviour, the Granet Museum, or the Pavillon de Vendome to learn more about the city’s rich history. Afterwards, make sure to take a stroll through the Cours Mirabeau and the Mazarin district for a taste of the city’s vibrant modern culture.

If you’re looking for a bit of relaxation, there are plenty of wonderful parks and gardens to explore in Aix-en-Provence. Take a leisurely walk through the beautiful Parc Jourdan or the Parc du Jas de Bouffan and enjoy the stunning views of rolling hills and lush greenery.

When it comes to food, Aix-en-Provence has plenty of delicious options to choose from. Sample some of the city’s famous local dishes like bouillabaisse, ratatouille, and socca. Or, for a truly indulgent experience, why not try some of the region’s renowned wines and cheeses?

Finally, don’t forget to take time to explore the beautiful countryside around Aix-en-Provence. Visit some of the nearby villages, take a hike in the nearby mountains, or even take a boat ride on the brilliant blue waters of the Mediterranean.

No matter how you choose to spend your time in Aix-en-Provence, you’re sure to have an unforgettable experience.

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.
