The most popular day trips from Aix-en-Provence include the lavender fields of Valensole and Sault (best June-August), the seaside town of Cassis with its famous calanques, the historic city of Avignon with the Papal Palace, and the charming villages of Luberon like Roussillon and Gordes.
The lavender fields around Aix-en-Provence typically bloom from mid-June to mid-August, with peak blooming usually occurring in early July. The Valensole Plateau offers some of the most photogenic fields, while the area around Sault (known as the lavender capital) provides spectacular views slightly later in the season.
Aix-en-Provence is known for its elegant architecture, beautiful fountains, connection to post-impressionist painter Paul Cezanne, exceptional food markets, and high-quality local products like calissons (almond candies), olive oil, and rose wine. The city's tree-lined Cours Mirabeau and its café culture are quintessentially Provencal.
The historic center of Aix-en-Provence is best explored on foot, as many streets are pedestrianized. For day trips, Daytrip offers the most flexibility to explore the countryside and small villages.
Aix-en-Provence is considered one of the more upscale cities in Provence, with prices generally higher than in surrounding towns. Dining, accommodation, and shopping tend to be relatively expensive, especially in the historic center and during peak tourist season (summer). Budget travelers can find more affordable options just outside the city center.
In Aix-en-Provence, be sure to try calissons (diamond-shaped almond candies), tapenade (olive spread), ratatouille (vegetable stew), bouillabaisse (though better in Marseille), local goat cheeses, and Provencal rose wines. The city's markets offer excellent local produce, including fragrant herbs, honey, and olive oil.
French is the primary language spoken in Aix-en-Provence. While many people working in tourism, restaurants, and hotels speak some English, it's helpful to learn basic French phrases. The local Provencal language (Occitan) is rarely heard in everyday conversation but remains an important part of the cultural heritage.
The main markets in Aix-en-Provence operate Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings (8:30 AM - 1:00 PM) in the city center. The largest market is on Saturday, spreading throughout the old town with sections for food, flowers, textiles, and antiques. A daily food market can be found at Place Richelme.
