Itinerary

Cours Mirabeau

Passing 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.
Stop 2

Passing 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.
Place d'Albertas

Passing 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.
Stop 4

Passing 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.
Stop 5

Passing 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.
