Aix-en-Provence city life by JanPeter74
Like said in the introduction, the main attraction of Aix is its atmosphere. You wouldn?t be the first to arrive at Aix and simply never want to leave again. We stayed in an apartment in the city centre for a week and loved every minute of it. The city is filled with squares, fountains, terraces and plane-trees (sycamore) to provide the necessary shadow. Several interesting churches and a cathedral are present as well as well as a nice bell tower in the heart of the city centre. Apart from the buildings Aix is also great for shopping, people watching, eating and drinking. Although it is fair to warn you, that because of the many tourists, many restaurants are real tourist traps.
