Aix-en-Provence Hotels

General Information

Aix-en-Provence: the word alone evokes idyllic visions of perhaps the most romanticized region of France. The capital of Provence is a divine catalyst from which to explore hilltop communes like Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, sites like the city of Arles and the Pont du Gard Roman aqueduct and the broad vistas of Mercantour National Park.

With a notable cultural legacy, Aix-en-Provence is in select company in France and without a doubt, Europe. The geography and climate of Provence generate some of the best olive oils, wines and produce and indeed, a culinary heritage that is the envy of the world. Thus, to experience Aix-en-Provence is to taste Aix-en-Provence. Of course, do visit points of interest such as Vendôme Pavilion, the Museum of Old Aix and the superb city cathedral. Festivals such as Musique dans la Rue, Baroque Music Festival and the aptly-titled Festival d'Aix-en-Provence represent good bets in the city.
