Serviced Apartments in Aix-en-Provence

Aix-en-Provence is a very lovely city in the south of France, just 19 miles north of Marseilles. It is known as the city of one thousand fountains and the springs which serve them are the reason for the town’s existence; the Romans settled here because of the available water. Staying in an Aix-en-Provence city centre (center) apartment you will never be far from the sound of running water – very relaxing. There is no shortage of things to do in the city, but as the birthplace of Cezanne they are very proud of their art and you can sign up for courses to improve your technique or start from scratch – you can practice in your Aix-en-Provence serviced apartment.

The city has several foods as a local speciality, from chocolate to the delicious calissons, made from crystallized melon and almonds. In September, should you be renting an Aix-en-Provence holiday apartment then, you could attend the blessing of these sweets in the cathedral, part of the ceremony they perform every year to give thanks from the deliverance of the city from the plague. The calissons, chocolate and of course wine of the region make great presents to take home after your Aix-en-Provence holiday let.

There are many museums to visit during your stay in an Aix-en-Provence holiday rental. Not surprisingly, the Musee Granet has a significant Cezanne collection, but there are also other artists represented, such as van Dyck and Rembrandt. It is well worth making time during your Aix-en-Provence apartment rental to visit this museum, as well as the tapestry museum and the museum of natural history. So proud of Cezanne are they in Aix-en-Provence that you will also have a chance to visit his ‘atelier’ or studio, which has been reconstructed and his father’s house as well. There are enough artistic attractions in the town to make a visit to one of them a real possibility on every day of your Aix-en-Provence aparthotel stay.

In the city of a thousand fountains there are some which are really worth going out of your way for. Your rambles from your Aix-en-Provence serviced residence will certainly take you down the Cours Mirabeau, the main street, and it is here that you will find a warm water fountain, which is covered in moss and dates back to Roman times. The water is 34 degrees and is certainly as unusual a fountain as you will find in any city centre.
