Albertas Square: Dating from 1745, this charming, cobbled square was modeled after Parisian squares of the day.
City Hall Square: The center point of Aix’s Old Town, this square features a stately fountain in the middle and is the site of a bustling flower market held each day.
Cardeurs Square: Pastel facades highlight a pleasant stretch of outdoor restaurants, which are usually brimming with area college students.
Saint Sauveur Cathedral: Erected on the site of the 1st century Roman forum of Aix, this cathedral was built and rebuilt continuously from the 12th to the 19th century, resulting in a fascinating blend of architectural influences.
Finally, go on a tour of Paul Cezanne’s workshop (payable direct), where the celebrated impressionist created some of his most immortal works. See the private creative universe of the man Matisse and Picasso declared “the father of us all.”
