A touch of Parisian elegance deep in Provence – that is Aix-en-Provence. Shaded boulevards, stately homes, and the gentle gurgling of moss-covered fountains give this city its incomparable class.

The Heart of the City: Cours Mirabeau

Stately stone lions guard the city's most magnificent street, the Cours Mirabeau. Here, between countless cafés and on polished ground, fashion-conscious ladies and gentlemen indulge in their daily promenade. It is a place to see and be seen, where a simple coffee becomes a social event.

Baroque Heritage and Vibrant Modernity

In Aix, history is the drama of everyday life. A shopping spree combines with noble heritage, while a drink on a terrace is enjoyed amidst Baroque splendor. Every fountain holds a secret, and every palace has a story to tell. From colorful markets to sun-drenched delicacies, the city offers a stage for unforgettable memories.

Atmosphere for Every Mood

The historic center offers the right atmosphere for every taste: from the hushed tranquility of elegant wine bars to the social energy of student pubs and the dance floors where you can turn night into day. Aix-en-Provence is a city that never stands still.

Our Tip

Just drift along. The narrow alleys away from the Cours Mirabeau often hide the most beautiful noble palaces and parks where time seems to have stood still since the 18th century.
