Known as a town of water and a town of art, Aix en Provence is 20 miles north of Marseille in the region of Provence. The city is unique in the sense that unlike most of France’s oceanic climate, Aix en Provence has a Mediterranean warmth.

There are a number of ways to get to Aix en Provence. By air, it is served by Marseille – Marignane Airport. Buses also travel between the airport and the Aix en Provence bus station every 30 minutes. By train, it takes about 3 hours from Paris or Lyon to Aix en Provence TGV Station.

The town is relatively compact and ideal for walking. Visitors will delight in the town’s warm weather and its beautiful architecture. But some of the sites, like Les Milles and Atelier Cezanne are far enough to require a bus, taxi or your own personal vehicle.
