Tour description
Aix-en-Provence is one of the most elegant cities in the south of France, a graceful university town of fountains, plane-tree-lined avenues and honey-coloured mansions, and the home of the painter Cézanne. Refined and sunny, it is a delight to explore. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its charm.
You will stroll the grand Cours Mirabeau, wander the old town's fountains and squares, and hear about Cézanne, the parliament era and Provençal life. Along the way you will discover the elegant lanes of the city. Refined and beautiful, Aix is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
