Your itinerary DAY 1 – Arrival in Aix-en-Provence Arrive at the airport for your flight to Nice, Marseille or Montpellier, or at the station for your Eurostar and TGV journey to Aix-en-Provence. DAY 2 – Walk: Aix-en-Provence Beautiful Aix combines Parisian-style chic with village-like gentility. Founded as a spa town by the Romans, it became the capital of Provence during the Middle Ages and evolved into a major educational and artistic hub. During our guided tour this morning, you’ll see what inspired the city’s favourite son, Paul Cézanne, to produce his numerous paintings. This afternoon we have our first country walk with a specialist guide.
