Cours Mirabeau

Aix-en-Provence is often called "the city of a thousand fountains" or the "city of water". Aix as Aigues means water in Latin. There are officially about 250 public and private fountains in the city center of Aix which, over approximately 3 km2, represents one of the largest concentrations of fountains in Europe. Most are now part of the private space. Some having existed since Roman times are no longer visible today. It is a city divided in two: on either side of the Cours Mirabeau we find on one side the old Aix with its alleys and its medieval buildings, on the other the new Aix which dates from the so-called classic.
The studio of Paul Cézanne, the most famous painter of this Provençal town can be visited. For more information, visit: atelier-cezanne.com
