Aix-en-Provence

City in France

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.
