Shore excursion to Aix-en-Provence: Cézanne’s town in a day

A few hours ashore is enough to discover Aix: the Cours Mirabeau, the old town and Cézanne’s studio. The driver drops you at La Rotonde, at the edge of the pedestrian centre, and meets you again at the agreed time.

The route follows the A55, A7 and A51, tolls included, for about half an hour. Keep a margin for the return: the all-aboard time is not negotiable.

Can you do the return trip the same day?

Yes. Book two rides at fixed times, or hourly hire if you want to add a stop.

For a cultural call, the Musée Granet and Cézanne’s studio on the Lauves hill fit into a morning. The Cours Mirabeau, with its fountains and cafés, links the old town to the Mazarin district, and the Saturday morning market fills the squares around the town hall.

Aix is known as the city of a thousand fountains: the Rotonde at the foot of the Cours Mirabeau, the moss-covered Fontaine d’Eau Chaude fed by a warm spring, and the Four Dolphins fountain in the Mazarin district punctuate a walk that fits easily into a half-day call.
