Your English speaking driver guide will meet you at your cruise ship at 09:00am or 01.00PM (1300) Walk with your guide on the Cours Mirabeau lined with 17th and 18th centuries private mansions, where large plane trees give shade on hot summer days. The old town is packed with shops, architectural and religious sites, bustling squares and refreshing fountains. Take a stroll through one of the numerous markets taking place everyday in the center of the city. Aix is also the birthplace of the painter Paul Cézanne. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Cézanne's studio that was built from his own plans and where time seems to stand still (entrance ticket not included).
