"When I was in Aix, I thought I would be better off elsewhere. Now, I miss Aix... whne you're born there, that's it, nothing else appeals".
Paul Cézanne.
City of water springs and art, pleasant to visit, with a lot of nice monuments and animations, exemplifies the Provençal art of living.
A lot of students here, local and foreigns.
Aix still remained an important university and culture/art center. |

Absolutely charming! | LKM1018 Tue Apr 8, 2008 13:52 UTC
I loved walking the streets of Aix with my Mother. The weekend market was great especially the fruit. It was a great place to visit, a slower pace of life. |
