Aix-en-Provence: City of a Thousand Fountains and Cézanne
Aix-en-Provence is an elegant city in southern France, the former capital of Provence, located 30 kilometers north of Marseille. This university town with nearly a thousand years of history enchants travelers with its plane tree-lined avenues, numerous fountains, exquisite 17th and 18th-century mansions, and unmistakable Provençal charm. Aix is the birthplace of painter Paul Cézanne, whose legacy permeates the entire city, and a place where art, history, and the Mediterranean way of life merge into one.
