From the coasts and islands of the Mediterranean Sea to the upland grasslands of the valleys of the Southern French Alps, the diversity of climates in southeastern France has given rise to many specialties. Farmers’ markets are a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in an atmosphere where the good mood is always there, while buying local products that you will enjoy the same day, as an aperitif or for dinner. Venelles has experienced significant economic growth and numerous extensions, including through the radiation of its larger neighbor, Aix.
Aix-en-Provence is a university city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of southern France. It was the birthplace of Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. A walking trail links sites including his childhood home, Jas de Bouffan, and his former studio, Atelier Cézanne. The white limestone mountain Sainte-Victoire overlooking the city as well as the surrounding countryside were frequent subjects of his works.
A pocket of left-bank Parisian chic deep in Provence, Aix (pronounced like the letter X) is all class: its leafy boulevards and public squares are lined with 17th- and 18th-century mansions, punctuated by gurgling moss-covered fountains. Haughty stone lions guard its grandest avenue, cafe-laced cours Mirabeau, where fashionable Aixois pose on polished pavement terraces, sipping espresso. While Aix is a student hub, its upmarket appeal makes it pricier than other Provençal towns.
