  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Aix is also ancient: a Celtic-Ligurian capital from the 3rd century BC was pushed aside for the founding of Aix in 122 BC, as Aquae Sextiae. The center of Aix is the old town, a small-enough area to explore by foot. The medieval Aix was protected by a wall with 39 towers. Today only the 14th century 'Tourreluquo' tower remains, at the northwest corner of the town.
