Aix En Provence Private Guided Walking Tour

Explore the cultural capital of Provence, the city of Cézanne, whose work was deeply inspired by the surrounding countryside. Wide boulevards lined with plane trees, elegant private mansions, charming fountains, squares, and lively café terraces all come together to make Aix-en-Provence an unmissable destination in the South of France.

Begin your itinerary by meeting your English-speaking guide, who will lead you through this refined Baroque city where Cézanne was born, lived, and died. Take time to stroll around the Fountain of La Rotonde, an impressive nineteenth-century monument adorned with sculpted animals and crowned by three female figures representing Justice, Agriculture, and the Fine Arts.

Follow the locals along the famous Cours Mirabeau, animated by cafés, bistros, and restaurants with inviting terraces. Then enter the old town through its narrow streets and reach the Mazarin Quarter, one of the most elegant areas of the city, renowned for its hôtels particularly built for the nobility and wealthy merchants.

For those wishing to explore further, continue your walking tour to the beautiful Saint-Sauveur Cathedral, a remarkable building combining Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architectural styles. Nearby, discover the sixteenth-century Clock Tower and the City Hall, whose seventeenth-century façade reflects Italian architectural influence. Often called the “Little Paris” of Provence, Aix-en-Provence fully deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful cities in France.
