Visit the city of Aix-en-Provence, renowned for its distinguished and aristocratic charm. Its inhabitants praise its gentle way of life. The architecture is reminiscent of a theatrical set, and you can stroll through the town in a nonchalant manner. A city of festivals, a city of water, a chic city, Aix-en-Provence is sought after by foreigners and students alike. In the city, wander through the historic Mazarin district, the Cours Mirabeau, or discover its many fountains and squares in the pedestrianised city centre.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

FROM PAUL C\u00c9ZANNE TO EMILE ZOLA<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A city is as much about its people as its buildings. Mirabeau was one of the key players in the French Revolution. Paul C\u00e9zanne founded modern art here by analysing the light of Sainte-Victoire. Emile Zola, a friend of Mirabeau, lived here before becoming involved in the novel and the battle over the Dreyfus affair. In the 20th century, Darius Milhaud followed in the footsteps of the composer Andr\u00e9 Campra.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Calissons d'Aix, made from marzipan and candied fruit, have been a speciality of the town since the 17th century.They are well worth a diversion and a tasting break.
Other delights include olive oil, Puyricard chocolates (shop), which have created the \"clou de C\u00e9zanne\" with figs and old Provencal marc, and oil pumps (brioches).
You'll also find colourful markets bursting with all the bountiful aromas of Provence every week.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

VISIT THE HISTORIC CITY CENTRE AND THE COURS MIRABEAU<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Cours Mirabeau is the town's main avenue. Now reserved exclusively for pedestrians, it's a pleasant place to sip a drink on a terrace in the shade of the plane trees. If you go there in the morning, you may be lucky enough to stroll through the heart of the Provencal market. A city of water, three fountains grace the centre of the Cours: the Fontaine des Neuf-Canons, the Fontaine d'Eau Thermale, also known as the Fontaine Moussue, and the Fontaine du Roi-Ren\u00e9. All along the Cours Mirabeau, you can admire the hotels with their aristocratic facades, as well as the terraces and shops that contribute to the lively town centre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
