Aix en Provence and Paul Cézanne private guided tour

Spend a day exploring Aix en Provence, with its 17th-century buildings, local markets, and charming architecture! The greatest treasures are the gracious 17th- and 18th-century mansions, narrow streets and quiet squares ornamented with handsome arcades and fountains. Among the outstanding points of interest is the Cours Mirabeau, where the inhabitants never tire of wandering under the green arbor of the plane trees. You will also see the area around the Sainte Sauveur Cathedral, and the Old Town. Walk in the footsteps of Paul Cezanne where he was born in 1839 and died in 1906 and share Cezanne's experience intensely, as you visit the streets, places and landscapes and studio he used to work. Incessantly, he painted the nature of Provence and his precious landscapes are kept today in great international museums or in private collections.
