Aix en Provence
Known as the City of Water and Art, Aix is a picturesque spot in the heart of Provence. Birthplace of the painter Paul Cézanne, Aix has captivated many other artists through the centuries with its natural and cultural heritage. As if Aix itself wasn't enough, there is also plenty to explore in the vicinity: Arles, the Camargue, the Gorges du Verdon and much more.
