The city
What to expect from Aix-en-Provence.
Aix-en-Provence is the city of Paul Cézanne, 30 km from Marseille. The Cours Mirabeau, with its plane trees and fountains, separates the old town from the quartier Mazarin, with mansions from the 17th and 18th centuries. The visit brings together the Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur, the Musée Granet, the Hôtel de Caumont, the Atelier de Cézanne and, on the horizon, the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, which the painter depicted dozens of times.
