    • Aix was the capitol of Provence in the 15th century, Wealthy merchants and local dignitaries helped turn this city into the Florence of Provence as we know it today. One can find all the beauty of the noble Provence of the17th and 18th centuries: handsome houses of the upper class, private mansions, ancient fountains and shaded narrow streets.

    As a city of art and culture Aix possesses a wealth of superbe architecture that has been carefully preserved and restored. One can admire the private mansions with their sculptured doors and windows and the intricate iron work on the balconies.

    • The Quartier Mazarin is the area south of the Cours Mirabeau. This area of 17th-century town houses (hôtels particuliers) was built in 1646-51 by the Archbishop Mazarin. The Granet Museum, Paul Arbaud Museum and the 13th century Eglise St-Jean-de-Malte are in the Quartier Mazarin.

    • The Cours Mirabeau has some of the finest fountains. This one at La Rotonde at the bottom end of the 'cours' is from 1860. The Fountain of 9 Cannons, half way up, dates back to 1691. Another block up the 'cours' is the moss-covered hot-water fountain dating back to 1734. King René's Fountain, at the top of the 'cours' was built in the 19th century.
