Things to Do in Aix-en-Provence
Hello and welcome to my Historic Walking Tour of Aix en Provence where you will be able to visit 90% of the city's treasures in less than two hours. One of my many reviews sums it up well: “Absolute ripper of a walk! Edouard was a skilful tour guide who provided the right mix of history and insights, all delivered with fine humour. Would thoroughly recommend.”
We will start in front of the Apple Store place de la Rotonde. You will be able to easily find me because I will be holding a blue hat. We will then visit:
-the Cours Mirabeau
-several picturesque fountains
-the former school of Paul Cezanne and Emile Zola
-the gothic church of Saint Jean de Malte
-several provencal squares
-a myriad of delightful gourmet shops
-Saint Sauveur Cathedral
-and much more...
You will get to meet a "local expert" who's been showing thousands of travelers the city for the last couple years. I also will provide you with good recommendations for restaurants in the city or whatever else you may want to do.
A bientôt!
Edouard
