Billig leiebil Aix-En-Provence - fra 9€/per dag

Aix-en-Provence is a lovely city in the center of the ancient Provence region, and it's a fantastic place to visit. Locals refer to it simply as Aix, and it is smaller than adjacent Marseille and Nice. It more than makes up for its small size with well-preserved architecture, many fountains, and museums dedicated to the city's world-famous painters. Aix is also close to natural attractions such as the Verdon Gorge and the Mediterranean coast, so there is much to see and do outside of the municipal limits.

Aix-en-Provence, founded by the Romans as Aquae Sextiae in 123 BC, was afterwards conquered and governed by Visigoths, Lombards, Muslim Saracens, and Norman Vikings. During the Middle Ages, the city gained in importance, even acting as the capital of Provence for a few hundred years. In the late 15th century, the city became a part of the French Crown and has remained such ever since.

Best vacation spots and activities

The Granet Museum. Granet is a high-quality museum that houses the works of several world-renowned painters, including Picasso, Gauguin, Degas, Van Gogh, and Cezanne. The latter artist was born in Aix-en-Provence and has a section dedicated to his life and work. In addition to paintings, the museum houses several magnificent sculptures as well as an archaeological area related to the city's history.

The Cathedral of Aix. The cathedral was built on the site of an ancient Roman forum in the 12th century, although construction (and repair) proceeded for the following 700 years. As a result, the church we see today is a one-of-a-kind blend of Gothic, Romanesque, and other styles; ancient Roman columns and portions of an older 6th-century church are also included in the cathedral complex.

Mirabeau Court. Cours Mirabeau, a broad thoroughfare in the centre of the city, is arguably Aix's most recognized attraction. The boulevard, which is home to numerous cafes and restaurants, is also flanked by a number of fountains, the most renowned of which, La Rotonde, is the city's emblem and can be seen on many postcards.
