AIX-EN-PROVENCE Aix-en-Provence is a perfect Provencal city, large enough to be sophisticated but small enough to navigate on foot. A university and spa town with a population of 150,000, its location offers many possible excursions (Arles, Avignon and Nimes), and it is just half-way between the beaches of the Mediterranean (Nice, St. Tropez, Antibes, etc.). It's a picturesque city of Roman origin, with a busy center full of boutiques, restaurants, cafes and open-air markets. It has a great artistic heritage and organizes a world-famous Arts and Music Festival each year.
