Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Aix En Provence?

Cours Mirabeau : Stroll under plane trees past baroque fountains and grand townhouses. Pause at café terraces to watch Aix move along its signature boulevard. Place Richelme Market : Browse piles of olives, goat cheese, and seasonal fruit at the daily market. Weave through lanes lined with sun-yellow façades to find more stalls and bakeries. Atelier Cézanne : Step into Cézanne’s preserved studio to see his easel, props, and north-facing window. Look out toward Montagne Sainte-Victoire and connect the light to his canvases. Musée Granet : Explore galleries that mix Provençal painters, Italian masters, and modern works. Note the Roman sculptures displayed in the chapel annex. Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur : Visit the layered cathedral to take in a Romanesque nave, Gothic choir, and a 15th century triptych. Sit a moment in the cloister’s shade.
