Aix-en-Provence is a city of art that houses several art schools and several universities, including some American, attracting a young population that sparks the atmosphere (you pronounce the "x", so Aix sounds like aches, as in aches and pains). Aix is a small and lively city, ideally situated for exploring the Provence and the Camarque.
The picture above is showing the Cours Mirabeau, a beautiful tree-lined avenue that offers wonderful terrace cafés and bookshops. Large trees overhang the length of the avenue, providing day-long shade on hot summer days. Some of the more famous cafés are: Le Grillon, Les Deux Garçons, La Belle Epoque and Le Café du Cours. |
