Aix-en-Provence is steeped in history, with landmarks such as the Cours Mirabeau, a large avenue lined with fountains and shaded by plane trees, and the Aix Cathedral, a magnificent structure that dates back to the 12th century. For Pam, walking through the city's streets is like stepping back in time. The historical significance of Aix is not just in its monuments but in the preserved lifestyle and traditions that echo through its streets.
