  • Visitez Aix-en-Provence avec votre propre guide touristique agréé. Au cours de cette visite de 2 heures, nous vous emmènerons dans les meilleurs endroits à visiter à Aix-en-Provence et inclurons les monuments et sites les plus intéressants que cette charmante petite ville a à offrir.
  • Rencontrez votre guide touristique agréé anglophone
  •      Aujourd'hui, rencontrez votre guide touristique agréé directement dans le hall de votre hébergement, airbnb ou hôtel. Votre guide est un spécialiste des visites privées et des balades historiques à Aix en Provence. Vous aurez donc l'occasion d'explorer l'histoire et de découvrir sa richesse culturelle accompagné d'un expert.
  • Commencez votre visite d'Aix en Provence
  •      Selon l'endroit où se trouve votre point de prise en charge à Aix en Provence, la visite peut commencer dans un ordre différent mais les sites les plus importants à visiter seront inclus. Commencez votre visite à pied à La Rotonde, un lieu important créé entre 1840 et 1860 et où vous admirez l'une des nombreuses fontaines que l'on trouve à Aix en Provence. Haute d'environ 12 mètres, la fontaine est composée de 2 bassins ornés de lions, de dauphins, de cygnes et d'enfants. La fontaine est reliée au canal de Provence.
  • Continuez votre visite vers le cours Mirabeau et le quartier Mazarin. Ce quartier unique construit sur un plan en damier est parsemé d'immeubles luxueux qui furent transmis pour accueillir les parlementaires locaux et les bourgeois du XVIIe siècle. On y trouve de nombreux hôtels particuliers de toute beauté, dont l'Hôtel de Gallifet et l'Hôtel de Caumont construits en 1715 et devenus un centre d'art réputé. Autre fait intéressant, le quartier Mazarin abrite la plus ancienne rue d'Aix en Provence, la rue d'Italie, qui correspond à l'ancienne voie romaine - Via Aurelia ou voie Aurélienne.
  • Rejoignez la partie haute du cours Mirabeau où vous découvrirez la fontaine moussue recouverte de mousse qui s'est formée au fil des décennies, la statue du roi René et le passage d'Agard, le chemin le plus direct pour rejoindre le palais de justice depuis le cours Mirabeau. Le passage a été construit en 1846 et est aujourd'hui un centre commercial à ciel ouvert qui a conservé de nombreux éléments architecturaux d'une ancienne église. De là, vous rejoignez la place des Prêcheurs où se trouve le palais de justice d'Aix en Provence. Votre guide vous montrera peut-être l'église de la Madeleine où Paul Cézanne fut baptisé en 1839.
  • En poursuivant votre visite, vous arriverez sur la place de l'Hôtel de Ville qui se trouve ici depuis le XVe siècle mais qui a été reconstruite au XVIIe siècle. La place abrite également une fontaine érigée en 1755 ainsi qu'une Halle aux grains construite en 1754. Enfin, vous rejoindrez le Musée du Vieil Aix situé dans le prestigieux Hôtel Particulier Etienne de Saint Jean et qui est le musée d'histoire de la ville depuis 1932.  
  • La visite se terminera par la contemplation de l'ancien Palais des Archevêques d'Aix en Provence et de la Cathédrale Saint Sauveur. Ce quartier était le siège du pouvoir ecclésiastique et politique aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. La Cathédrale Saint Sauveur date du Ve siècle et a été remaniée au fil des siècles. La Cathédrale a été classée monument historique en 1875.

  • Commencez votre visite d'Aix en Provence
  •      Selon l'endroit où se trouve votre point de prise en charge à Aix en Provence, la visite peut commencer dans un ordre différent mais les sites les plus importants à visiter seront inclus. Commencez votre visite à pied à La Rotonde, un lieu important créé entre 1840 et 1860 et où vous admirez l'une des nombreuses fontaines que l'on trouve à Aix en Provence. Haute d'environ 12 mètres, la fontaine est composée de 2 bassins ornés de lions, de dauphins, de cygnes et d'enfants. La fontaine est reliée au canal de Provence.
  • Continuez votre visite vers le cours Mirabeau et le quartier Mazarin. Ce quartier unique construit sur un plan en damier est parsemé d'immeubles luxueux qui furent transmis pour accueillir les parlementaires locaux et les bourgeois du XVIIe siècle. On y trouve de nombreux hôtels particuliers de toute beauté, dont l'Hôtel de Gallifet et l'Hôtel de Caumont construits en 1715 et devenus un centre d'art réputé. Autre fait intéressant, le quartier Mazarin abrite la plus ancienne rue d'Aix en Provence, la rue d'Italie, qui correspond à l'ancienne voie romaine - Via Aurelia ou voie Aurélienne.
  • Rejoignez la partie haute du cours Mirabeau où vous découvrirez la fontaine moussue recouverte de mousse qui s'est formée au fil des décennies, la statue du roi René et le passage d'Agard, le chemin le plus direct pour rejoindre le palais de justice depuis le cours Mirabeau. Le passage a été construit en 1846 et est aujourd'hui un centre commercial à ciel ouvert qui a conservé de nombreux éléments architecturaux d'une ancienne église. De là, vous rejoignez la place des Prêcheurs où se trouve le palais de justice d'Aix en Provence. Votre guide vous montrera peut-être l'église de la Madeleine où Paul Cézanne fut baptisé en 1839.
  • En poursuivant votre visite, vous arriverez sur la place de l'Hôtel de Ville qui se trouve ici depuis le XVe siècle mais qui a été reconstruite au XVIIe siècle. La place abrite également une fontaine érigée en 1755 ainsi qu'une Halle aux grains construite en 1754. Enfin, vous rejoindrez le Musée du Vieil Aix situé dans le prestigieux Hôtel Particulier Etienne de Saint Jean et qui est le musée d'histoire de la ville depuis 1932.  
  • La visite se terminera par la contemplation de l'ancien Palais des Archevêques d'Aix en Provence et de la Cathédrale Saint Sauveur. Ce quartier était le siège du pouvoir ecclésiastique et politique aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. La Cathédrale Saint Sauveur date du Ve siècle et a été remaniée au fil des siècles. La Cathédrale a été classée monument historique en 1875.

Roughly 12 meters high, the fountain is composed of 2 bassins ornated with Lions, Dolphins, Swans and Children. The fountain is linked with the Canal of Provence.
  • Continue your tour towards the Cours Mirabeau and the Mazarin quarter. This unique neighborhood built on a grid plan is dotted with luxurious buildings that were erected to welcome members of the local parliament and bourgeois of the 17th century. A number of beautiful private mansions can be seen here including Hotel de Gallifet and Hotel de Caumont built in 1715 that has become a renowned Art Center. Another interesting fact is that the Mazarin quarter is home to the oldest street of Aix en Provence, rue d'Italie, that corresponds to the old Roman Road - Via Aurelia or Aurelian Way.
  • Reach the higher part of Cours Mirabeau where you will discover the 'Fontaine Moussue' (or mossy fountain) covered with moss that has built up over the decades, King René's statue and the Agard passage the most direct way to go from Cours Mirabeau to the Court of Justice. The passage was built in 1846 and is today an open-air shopping mall that has preserved a number of architectural elements of a former church. From there, you will arrive Place de Prêcheurs where the Court of Justice of Aix en Provence is located. Here, your guide might show you Église de la Madeleine where Paul Cézanne was baptized in 1839.
  • Moving on, arrive on the square of the Town Hall that has been located here since the 15th century but rebuilt during the 17th century. The square is also home to a fountain that was erected in 1755 as well a Grain Exchange that was built in 1754. Finally, reach the Old Aix Museum located in the prestigious Etienne de Saint Jean Private Mansion and that has been the museum of history of the town since 1932. 
  • The tour will end as you admire the ancient Palace of the Archbishops of Aix en Provence and the Saint Sauveur Cathedral.

The Cathedral was classified as a historical monument in 1875.
