AIX EN PROVENCE
Town of water and of art. Aix is a town that knows how to mix the ages and cultures. Open to the world, it is a city of a human size, where a preserved patrimony and a town looking to the future live together in perfect harmony. Here everything is an interwoven patchwork of colours and sensations : the natural sun light, the golden coloured stone facades, the green transparency of the fountains, the shade of the lime trees, markets and festivals...
AVIGNON

Behind the superbly preserved ramparts, one discovers the Palace of Popes built in the 14th century, and its very lively square, the famous Avignon Bridge, the museums of the Petit Palace and the Roure Palace.
