Protected by the 1,011 m high Sainte Victoire mountain, Aix-en-Provence is surrounded by richly preserved countryside with authentic Provencal bastides surrounded by French gardens.
From the Celto-Ligurian oppidum of Entremont to the new Sextius-Mirabeau district, via the Ville Comtale and the many private mansions of the Mazarin district, Aix-en-Provence is an open-air history book.
Rich and alive with a heritage that is several thousand years old, the capital of Provence is a city of all times.
