Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Aix in Provence is the typical town of Provence: nice weather, beautiful town and nature, gastronomy and wine, history, culture, peaceful way of life.
It is called "City of Water, city of Arts": Water, for its fountains and roman thermal baths. Arts, for the cultural richness and diversity of the town
It is the city of the painter Cezanne with its famous Sainte Victoire Mountain, the architect and artist Vasarely. Picasso also lived there...
It is a gorgeous town with typical markets, historical center, shops, coffees, lovely restaurants, theaters, festivals, museums. But it also offers everything you can expect in a modern city: transports, sport infrastructures with swimming pools, spas, rich cultural program, cinemas, bowling, children activities...
Nature is all around with the hills and Sainte Victoire Mountain.
And if you have a car, you can discover very easily all the amazing region of Provence: the sea and The Calanques, the city of Marseille (you can also reach it by bus or train) with its port, Notre Dame de la Garde, the Islands of Frioul and Chateau d'IF...
The roman towns of Avignon and Arles, The wild region of Camargues, The Baux de Provence, the Luberon (typical villages such as Gordes or Lourmarin, The Fontain of Vaucluse, The Provence Colorado...), The Gorges du Verdon, the wine roads... There are so many nice places to go!
The city of Aix and the region of Provence offer a privileged living environment and way of life. You will enjoy it!
