What to expect

  1. Cours Mirabeau
    Pass by
    It’s where Aix breathes and performs—cafés, fountains, mansions, and people-watching at its finest. This is the city’s soul on display, and no walking tour is complete without it.
  2. Pass by
    From a Roman temple to a Gothic cathedral, this single façade tells a thousand-year story. Even without entering, it stuns with layered architecture and solemn beauty.
  3. Place d'Albertas
    Pass by
    Baroque façades curve around a fountain in a pocket-sized square. It’s one of the most photogenic—and strangely calming—places in town. Locals love it for its symmetry and stillness.
  4. Pass by
    With its Renaissance town hall, intricate clock tower, and colorful daily activity (markets, weddings, protests), this square connects you to the city’s political and human pulse.
  5. Pass by
    This orderly 17th-century neighborhood shows Aix’s aristocratic side. At its center, a whimsical dolphin fountain breaks the silence—a local favorite and visual delight.
