Exploring from your holiday apartment in Aix en Provence

Aix en Provence is a beautiful city of wide tree shaded streets and cooling fountains. Its universities draw many foreign students on intensive French language courses and this gives Aix en Provence an additional cosmopolitan feel. It is a historic town too, founded after a Roman battle with the local Celtic tribes in 123 BC. In Aix en Provence, great festivals of art and music combine with cosmopolitan influences and a laid back Provencal attitude to make for a unique town. The arrival of the high speed rail line has brought many more visitors and the draw of the artist, Cezanne, remains strong.

Choosing holiday accommodation in Aix en Provence

A holiday apartment in Eguilles will find you just 10 kilometres west of Aix en Provence. This extremely well preserved old Provencal village is dominated by an imposing 17th century castle and offers great views over Mount Sainte-Victoire. There are narrow cobbled streets to wander and a sense that time has passed by this pretty village. For a complete change of place, a short journey south will take you to a holiday apartment in Marseille where you will find the perfect counterpoint to Aix en Provence. Marseille replaced Aix en Provence as the capital of Provence and the two cities could not be more different. Where Aix en Provence is cultured and chic, Marseille is wild and untamed, mixing French and North African culture in an unforgettable melting pot.

Moving on from Aix en Provence
