Aix-en-Provence
4 things to see
Aix-en-Provence is a sun-soaked university town in France where the elegant old center is free to stroll and the fountain-lined boulevards cost nothing to enjoy. The open-air markets are a budget traveler’s friend, easy for picnic supplies of bread, cheese, and produce instead of a sit-down meal. It sits a short, cheap train ride from Marseille and works well alongside Avignon on a Provence trip. Spring and autumn bring the warm light without peak-summer crowds or prices.
