Removals to France: About Aix en Provence
Aix en Provence, also known as Aix is a beautiful, very affluent and historic city which is just 19 miles from Marseille in southern France. It is a small but attractive place to live with winding, narrow streets, paved squares, and fascinating ancient buildings.
The busiest street is the tree-lined Cours Mirabeau, where various artists display their work. On one side of the promenade are grand 16th, 17th and 18th century mansions, and on the other side are cafés where you can sit and watch the world go by.
Aix is called the city of a thousand fountains and these can be seen everywhere. Among the most impressive are the three fountains along the Cours Mirabeau including La Rotunda, and the Fountain of the Four Dolphins which you can find in the Quartier Mazarin. The city is also known for its interesting architecture.
It is a fairly quiet place in which to live as it lacks the buzz of the large cities, but there is plenty to do if you are prepared to find it. It is famously known as the home of Cézanne and among the attractions is the Manor of Jas de Bouffan, the house of Cézanne’s father where you can see many of the artist’’ works. On the outskirts of Aix is the museum L’Atelier Cézanne, built around the artist’s studio.
If you like to shop, you can find many clothing shops and boutiques here and there are also open markets to buy home-made goods and fresh produce.
