Stop 1
Aix-en-Provence is a town filled with elegance to be seen and savoured in its lively streets and squares. It is known as the City of a Thousand Fountains that are a reminder of its origins as a Roman spa town. Here history is the backdrop of everyday life. You can combine the fun of shopping and the nobility of its heritage, the enjoyment of a café terrace and architectural beauty, a stroll through the town and the wonders of the Baroque era. Each fountain has its secrets, each private mansion has its stories. The bastides are enhanced by parks and gardens as in past centuries.
