Aix-en-Provence is a vibrant city, alive with historical sights, museums, markets and restaurants, providing you with plenty of cultural and Provencal encounters. The city and surrounding countryside were in fact the inspiration for numerous artists including Renoir, Cezanne and Picasso who drew on the beauty of this region through their artforms.

There are miles of vineyards, acres of lavender fields, world-class food and a vast array of small market towns that you can explore day by day. Popular among hikers and cyclists, foot and bike are the best means of transport for exploring this beautiful area.
For beach lovers, the beautiful Cote d’Azur is only a two-hour drive away, or the sweeping sands of Plage de la Grande Mer can be reached within one hour. Along the coast, past Marseille, the beaches within Calanques National Park are renowned. A Calanques is a tucked away cove which seem to be dramatically cut out of the limestone cliffs. There are a series of these coves, some easier to access than others. The easiest way to visit is by taking a boat from Cassis harbour which takes around 30-minutes to get to the first stop. If you prefer to hike then you can walk to the striking Calanque d’En Vau in around an hour from Port Mio, the view as you approach the cove is well worth the walk!
