Source: www.provence-hideaway.com. Posted on 11 June 2006.

What a jewel! The little Paris of Southern France! As far as real estate prices go Aix - 3 hours from Paris via the TGV high speed train - is nearly equal to Paris.

Aix is a sophisticated town with elegant streets and squares, magnificent buildings with hidden gardens and student quarters in tiny alleys. It offers a wide array of cultural activities, excellent shopping and a great restaurant scene. It is surrounded by a marvelous countryside dominated by the white cliffs of Mt. Sainte Victoire of Cezanne fame.
