Sightseeing Overview
Aix-en-Provence is a pleasant city to discover on foot, and visitors should take the time to explore its many squares, admire its well preserved architecture and discover its many fountains (over 20 of them).
A good starting point is the cours Mirabeau, which divides the city in two, with the Old Town to the north and the Quartier Mazarin to the south. Most of Aix's attractions lie within these boundaries, although a few, such as the Atelier Cézanne and the Fondation Vasarely, are further afield (but still within easy reach).
