An Authentic and Warm Visit to Aix en Provence

The monumental Rotonde Fountain, symbol of Aix-en-Provence, built in 1860.

The most famous artery of Aix-en-Provence, with its numerous café terraces and private mansions. Stop in front of the Hôtel de Villars, 17th century, residence of the governor of Provence.

The most beautiful 18th century mansion in the Mazarin district, which has become an art center.

The Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins, a 17th century jewel, is located in the center of the Mazarin district.

First Gothic church in Provence built in the 13th century. Presentation of the Granet Museum which adjoins the church.

The good King René, emblematic character, last Count of Provence.

Picturesque passage created in 1846 between Cours Mirabeau and the Palais de Justice, Place Verdun. We owe it to Félicien Agard who bought a large part of the former convent of the Grands Carmes.

The most charming square in Aix-en-Provence with the harmony of its facades, its restored cobblestone and its fountain. Albertas Hotel opposite.

Town Hall Square XVII created by Pavillon and the sculptors Rambot and Fossé. Former grain markets and its spectacular pediment by Jean-Pancrace Chastel. Clock tower (belfry).

After taking rue Gaston de Saporta, stop at Place de l'Archevêché (Place des Martyrs de la Résistance) where the former 18th century Archiepiscopal Palace is located, today the Tapestry Museum.

Located on the site of the ancient Forum, remodeled several times. Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque naves. Baptistery from the 6th century. Very pretty cloister.
