Aix en Provence - France
Aix-en-Provence, or also know as just
Aix, is a small classically Provencal town.
The number of vacationers from the north has
dramatically increased since the addition of
the TGV high-speed train station. Aix has
turned into a shopping town with high
variety and representation considering its
small size. There are also three
universities and several French-language
schools for international students.
Aix has always been a rich city. It is a
quiet, clean and comfortable city. The city
center is mostly pedestrian and, though it
is quite small, offers long hours of nice
walks. As in all Provencal towns, the city
center consists of narrows streets, lined
with interesting buildings from 17th century
hotels to paved plazas. Aix is famous for
being once the home to Cezanne.
