Aix-en-Provence Heritage Trail

This trail spans centuries of Provençal history, connecting the Roman foundations of Aquae Sextiae with medieval religious architecture and 17th-century aristocratic mansions. Key landmarks include the 12th-century Cistercian Silvacane Abbey, the Gothic Église Saint-Jean-de-Malte, and the Bastide du Jas de Bouffan, once owned by Paul Cézanne. The route also features ornate public works like the Fountain of the Nine Cannons and grand private hôtels particuliers that define the city's refined urban landscape.
