Crash course

We recommend start exploring the historic heart of the city in the south of the city. Amble down the streets, either on foot, by bike or on the sight-seeing train. Admire the clock tower, the Saint Sauveur cathedral or the Bishop's Palace.

Pleasant strolls

Continue wandering along the Cours Mirabeau Aix locals love take a stroll here come rain or shine. In the summer, the plane trees provide welcome respite from the heat. The avenue is lined with stunning 17th and 18th century buildings.

Art o'clock

The Musée Granet just off the avenue is overflowing with spectacular works of art, featuring rooms dedicated to Cézanne, Flemish, Dutch and Italian painting and sculptures. One area is given over to objects found in excavation digs. Next-door in the White Penitents chapel, the new Granet XXe exhibition space is dedicated to modern art and includes a significant collection of works by Jean Planque.

A contemporary touch

Head north to the Vendôme pavilion. This 17th century residence encloses a large collection of 17th and 18th century paintings. Contemporary art and photography exhibitions are regularly held here.

In the footsteps of a master

The perfect way to end your tour? A trip to Cézanne's studio. The furniture and tools on display here provide a glimpse into the artist's world and life, and is bathed in the light that long served as Cézanne's source of inspiration.
