arrondissement d'Aix-en-Provence Essentials
Aix-en-Provence, known as the 'City of a Thousand Fountains,' is defined by the elegant Cours Mirabeau and the labyrinthine streets of Vieil Aix. This collection highlights the city's architectural evolution, from the Romanesque and Gothic details of Aix Cathedral to the 17th-century Baroque elegance of the Fountain of the Four Dolphins. Artistic legacy thrives at Atelier Cézanne and the Musée Granet, while the historic Town Hall Square hosts traditional flower markets. Notable 'hôtels particuliers' like Hôtel de Valbelle and the moss-covered Fountain of Hot Water showcase the unique Provencal heritage found throughout the Mazarin district.
