Information about Aix en Provence

The city-commune of Aix is settled on a gently sloping plain next to the River Arc, where it enjoys the warm climate of southern France. Sometimes called “The City of a Thousand Fountains,” Aix-en-Provence boasts wide streets lined with resplendent mansions and impressive architecture.

The leisurely atmosphere of the charming town is enhanced by its natural hot springs spas and street cafes. Museum goers and market shoppers enjoy ambling along the lanes through the misty spray of its many beautifully constructed fountains, such as the Fountain of the Four Dolphins. The city’s most famous outdoor café has welcomed such notable guests as Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway.

Visitors also come for the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, which is an important opera festival and for the Musique dans la Rue festival with outdoor jazz, classical and popular music concerts. Notable landmarks include the Cathedral Cloisters, Saint-Jean-de-Malte, and the Palais de Justice.
