Best Things to Do in Aix-en-Provence

In Aix, you can stroll the Cours Mirabeau, browse through the markets and sip lattes and people watch in cafés. You can also head to a museum or two -- the Musée Granet hangs a few Cézannes; speaking of which, you can also visit his studio or climb one of his muses, Mont St-Victoire. And you must spend some time shopping -- or at least window-shopping -- at some of Aix’s boutiques, which are scattered in both old and new towns.
