Hot springs once inspired the Romans to settle in a valley below the Celtic Oppidum that they had just destroyed. However, today’s Aix-En-Provence and its numerous lanes offer far more than simply water.

Aix is one of the most beautiful cities in France and its numerous fountains and majestic squares highlight the city’s unique ambience and romantic character. Indeed, more than forty spectacular fountains cool down this ancient town in the hot months of summer when both foreign and French tourists visit the city.

Nearly all of its splendid buildings and wonderful avenues date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, the Golden Age of Aix-En-Provence.

As a centre of education and fine art this elegant city continues to be a rich source of creative inspiration.
