Cours Mirabeau
Aix-en-Provence
　　No streetscape better epitomises Provence’s most graceful city than this 440m-long, fountain-studded street, sprinkled with Renaissance hôtels particuliers (private mansions) and crowned with a summertime roof of leafy plane trees. It was laid out in the 1650s and later named after the Revolutionary hero the Comte de Mirabeau. Cézanne and...
Carrières de Bibemus
Aix-en-Provence
　　In 1895 Cézanne rented a cabanon (cabin) at the Carrières de Bibemus, east of Aix, where he painted 27 works. Atmospheric one-hour tours of the ochre quarry take visitors on foot through the dramatic burnt-orange rocks that Cézanne captured so vividly on canvas. Tours are mostly in French, though occasional...
Caumont Centre d’Art
Aix-en-Provence
　　The Caumont is a stellar art space housed inside the Mazarin quarter’s grandest 18th-century hôtel particulier (mansion). While there are three quality exhibitions each year, plus concerts and other events, it’s the building itself that’s the star of the show. Built from local honey-coloured stone, its palatial rooms are stuffed...

Aix-en-Provence
　　Aix established one of France's first public museums here, on the site of a former Hospitallers' priory, in 1838.

Camp des Milles
Aix-en-Provence
　　Eight kilometres southwest of Aix is the town of Les Milles, where this imposing factory produced bricks and tiles from 1882 until 31 August 1939, when it was turned into a concentration camp. The camp is now a movingly preserved memorial, with modern exhibits documenting how 10,000 prisoners from 38...
Fontaine de la Rotonde
Aix-en-Provence
　　Built in 1860 as the centrepiece to the place de la Rotonde, the roundabout at the western edge of Cours Mireabeau, this magnificent fountain is adorned by sculptures of lions, swans, mythical creatures, and three women, representing justice, agriculture and the arts. ...
Vieil Aix
Aix-en-Provence
　　One of Aix' great charms is its historical centre: ramble through it, drinking in divine streetscapes as you choose which historical, cultural or culinary highlight to sample next. North of the graceful cours Mirabeau, the city's main artery, is the oldest part of town; to the south, the 17th-century Quartier...
