All our hotels in Aix En Provence

Art lovers are spoiled for choice in Aix-en-Provence. Must-see attractions include Cézanne's Studio, the atelier-turned-museum-and-gallery where the painter produced most of his later pieces. A number of the Post-Impressionist's most famous paintings can also be seen at Musée Granet, a respected art museum serving as a catalogue of European icons with works by the likes of Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso and Matisse. To discover a fabulous collection of 17th- and 18th-century portraits, visit the ornamental ducal home known as Pavillon de Vendôme; or, attend a fine-art exhibition at one of the city's grandest hôtel particuliers, Hôtel de Caumont. Both buildings are masterpieces in their own right, filled with an exceptional array of period furniture and objets d'art. If your tastes are more contemporary, you'll love Fondation Vasarely, a somewhat hallucinogenic tribute to the work of optical illusionist Victor Vasarely, located to the west of the city centre.

Aix-en-Provence cuisine is influenced by an abundance of high-quality herbs and olive oils. In fact, the city produces an olive oil classified by its own Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP), with a rich flavour that underpins many of the local specialities served at the best restaurants in Aix-en-Provence. Amongst these are grenouilles à la Provençale (grilled frogs' legs), boeuf en daube (a traditional beef stew) and pieds paquets (stewed lamb's feet stuffed with tripe). Olive oil-based products ranging from tapenades to an anchovy purée known as anchoïade are staples at the city's lively farmers' markets – which also sell fresh bread, fragrant cheeses, charcuterie and fruit for the best DIY brunch in Aix-en-Provence. If you have a taste for the sweeter things in life, don't miss out on another local delicacy: calissons d'Aix. These leaf-shaped pastries are crafted from a paste of melon confit, orange zest and ground almonds topped with icing, and make the perfect post-dinner petit fours. For a more traditional digestif, try one of Provence's many specialty liqueurs. These range from anise-flavoured pastis to picon, an orange-flavoured bitter apéritif invented by Gaétan Picon, who learned his craft as an apprentice in an Aix-en-Provence distillery. Wines from the Côteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation also feature heavily in the city's best bars – to sample them at their source, visit historic local wine estate Château La Coste.
