The Best of NileGuide
- There is certainly no shortage of things to do in this lovely French town. Take the first day and stroll around the town, taking in the small quaint shops and fresh bakeries. Walk down Le Cours Mirabeau, the most popular street in Aix-en Provence. This main thoroughfare is lined with trees planted during the early 1800’s. Next, walk through town to visit Paul Cézanne’s home and painting studio, also known as the Atelier Paul Cezanne. This picturesque property is sure to put you in the artistic mood. Afterwards, head to one of the many art museums in the area, such as the Musee Granet, located in the heart of the historic district. Or, if your interests lie in more locally produced art, check out the Galerie d’Art du Consiel General, which showcases Southern French artists specifically. You can also head to the Cathedrale Saint-Sauveur, which is a beautiful combination of architectural styles popular during various time periods in Southern France. No matter where you choose to wander on your visit to this small, picturesque town, you’ll be happy with its charm, liveliness, and mystique. This town is meant for walking, so put on your good shoes, pick up a croissant from a classic French bakery, and enjoy a relaxing day wandering around this beautiful town.
