East of Aix: Aix-en-Provence

Mount Saint-Victoire looms on the horizon to the east of Aix. Traveling through local villages like Le Tholonet or Beaurecueil on your way there not only takes you through sublime scenery but also provides the ideal opportunity to stop for a delicious meal on the way; gourmet restaurants abound such as the Relais Ste-Victoire or the Mas de la Bertrande. Experiencing for yourself the fragrant pathways and wild moorland that were so dear to Cézanne remains an essential part of any visit to Aix. © WCities
