Itinerary

1

Cours Mirabeau

Aix’s emblematic promenade is shaded by plane trees and punctuated by historic fountains, including the statue of King René at the eastern end. Lined with lively cafés and elegant façades, it’s the city’s most photogenic axis and an easy, flat stroll to set the tone.

2

Vieil Aix

Slip into the intimate heart of Aix around the town hall square—arcades, a sculpted fountain, and the tall clock tower that has kept time for centuries. The lanes around here concentrate craft shops and market stalls on many days, ideal for a short wander between photos.

3

Cathedrale St. Sauveur

A serene mix of styles with chapels, cloistered corners, and a cool nave—great when summer heat rises. Typical opening hours run through the day and entry is listed as free, so this is an easy cultural pause within the route.

4

Fontaine des Quatre-Dauphins

Quartier Mazarin & Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins. A dignified 17th-century district of hôtels particuliers and quiet streets culminates in the baroque Four Dolphins fountain—carved in 1668 by Jean-Claude Rambot and Pierre Pavillon. The square’s proportions and stonework make a refined backdrop for photos.
