Resolutely cultural and artistic, Aix-en-Provence is a harmonious blend of the traditional and the modern. Here, it’s all about colour and sensations: the light of the sky, the golden stone of the building’s facades, the greenish transparency of the fountains, the shade of the plane trees, the surprises in store on festival nights... The museums, the Mazarin quarter, the Town Hall, the Place d’Albertas, the cours Mirabeau... All must-see at-tractions to explore, but you should also take some time out to wander around the pedestrian streets, soak up the atmosphere of the markets, taste the famous calissons, sit down for a while at a shady cafe terrace… Welcome to Aix-en-Provence, the city where Cézanne painted most of his work!

COURS MIRABEAULined with plane trees, fountains, cafes and restaurants, and elegant mansions, the cours Mirabeau is a must place to stroll around.

PRIVATE MANSIONS These residences built between the 16th and mid-18th cen-turies trace the history of life in Aix and its wealthy families.

Don’t miss:Hôtel d’Arbaud-Jouques: 19, cours MirabeauHôtel Maurel-de-Pontevés: 38, cours MirabeauHôtel de Villars: 4, cours MirabeauHôtel de Forbin: 20, cours MirabeauHôtel de Caumont: rue Joseph Cabassol

It owes its name to Michel de Mazarin, Archbishop of Aix, brother of Cardinal Jules Mazarin and Minister to Louis XIV. Built from 1646 onwards on the site of the meadows and gardens belonging to the archbishop, it was at first taken over by merchants and wealthy peoplebefore becoming the quarter prized by the nobility.
