Information about the town: Aix-en-Provence, founded by the Romans, is a beautiful university town a half hour north of Marseille and an hour and a half west of Cannes. In opinion polls it has more than once been voted on by French people as the town they would most like to live in. It has immense charm, outstanding historic architecture, wonderful sunny weather, lively markets, great food, hearty wine, and an active Anglo-American club to help get you started.
The property is located in one of the loveliest areas of Aix in a calm, semi-country setting only 2 miles from the main avenue of town on the side of the city protected from development. It is within easy walking distance (about a half hour) from the Cours Mirabeau, the Champs Elysees of Aix with beautiful, Provencal vegetation. There is frequent bus service 700 meters from the property. And there is a lovely country walk in the other direction towards a 15th century tower (also takes about a half hour).
