Aix-en-Provence The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Aix-en-Provence is rather unique for its kind in that it is a combination of Roman and Gothic influences. © Jose Antonio Moreno - age fotostock
The city of Zola and Cézanne, at the foot of Mont Sainte-Victoire mountain which so inspired the painter, is the quintessential 'Provence par excellence'. There can be no denying that with the colourful markets of the old centre, the beautiful 17th Century hotels and the shaded promenade of the cours Mirabeau (main street), this University town and Judicial capital is also a Provençal city where life is good. Don't miss Atelier Cézanne (Cézanne's studio), Musée Granet (Granet Museum) and the Festival d'Art lyrique (the Festival of Lyrical Art).
