Itinerary

1

Cours Mirabeau

Aix’s iconic boulevard lined with fountains, café terraces, and noble façades. It sets the city’s refined, Provençal tone and is perfect for a gentle stroll.

2

Vieil Aix

Narrow lanes and squares where the medieval heart of Aix still beats—markets, artisan shops, and the historic clock tower on Place de l’Hôtel de Ville.

3

Cathedrale St. Sauveur

A layered monument blending Roman foundations, a Gothic nave, and Baroque chapels, with a calm cloister. Free to enter, it’s a must-see inside Vieil Aix.

4

Port de Cassis

A pastel-colored fishing village with a tiny port, lively quays, and cafés facing the water—ideal for photos with Cap Canaille cliffs behind.

5

Cape Canaille

France’s highest sea cliffs at ~394 m offer pull-offs for sweeping views of the bay and the Calanques. Access depends on fire-risk closures in summer.
