Arriving at this monument on Rue Gaston de Saporta you’ll see right away how Aix Cathedral blends different styles and eras. To the left is the gothic portal with beautiful sculpture and the Virgin with Child in the centre. But next door to this is the romanesque entrance from the 1100s, which joins onto a much older Roman wall, believed to have be...
Don’t resist the urge to see every nook and cranny of Aix’ old centre, north of Cours Mirabeau, for its gorgeous architecture, charming markets, unexpected historical flourishes and the constant feeling that you’re walking in the shoes of great artists and writers. It’s a heady concoction, so you could use the city’s famous fountains as the basis f...
The fitting finale for your wander around the oldest part of Aix is Cours Mirabeau, below which are newer but no less wonderful streets of Mazarin. This avenue has a wide walkway shaded by rows of lush plane trees, and is replete with mansions and restaurants that were the haunts of French cultural icons like Camus, Cézanne and Zola. You can bask i...
Surrounded by olive groves and fig orchards on the Lauves Hill is Paul Cézanne’s studio where he worked for the last four years of his life. It’s about 15 minutes on foot from the centre, and he would make a daily commute from his home on Rue Boulegon out to this studio, which had been purpose-built according to the artist’s own designs. The place ...
The Cézanne theme continues at this renowned limestone ridge 20 kilometres east of Aix, and visible from his studio. It was an inspiration for Cézanne who painted it many times, from different angles and in different lights. The mountain peaks at over 1,000 metres and is scattered with little religious sites that you’ll meet unexpectedly, like the ...
In the old priory buildings of the Église Saint-Jean-de-Malte, the Musée Granet has a collection of almost 12,000 paintings, sculptures and historic artefacts. And, you guessed it, one of the must-sees is the room dedicated to Cézanne, with nine oil paintings by the post-impressionist. In recent years the museum has received a big donation from the...
When Michele Mazzarino was made Archbishop of Aix in 1645 he had some big plans for the city, and over the next few years ordered a whole new district below the Cours Mirabeau. This was where the gentry and wealthy merchants would make their homes, in marvellous Hôtels. Many of these are on the southern side of Cours Mirabeau overlooking the walkwa...
On Rue Joseph-Cabassol is one of the few hôtels open to the public and among the most magnificent. It’s a French “monument historique” and was built between 1745 and 1742 for the Marquess of Cabanes. The interior has been conserved in all its 18th-century finery, with rococo gilded plasterwork and furniture. One of the many fine rooms is the Salon ...
Built in five short years between 1272 and 1277 this church was the first gothic building to be built in Provence. It was built outside of the city on the road to Italy, and its appearance was inspired by the hospital of St. John in Jerusalem, constructed during the crusades. So that explains why there’s a military feel about this building, with lo...
You’ll have no doubt that you’re in Provence when you catch the scent of lavender while pottering around an open-air market in Aix. They should be your first destination for fresh produce and Provençal delights. There are food markets on Place des Prêcheurs and Place de la Madeleine on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday, and one every day on Place Ri...
