Frequently Asked Questions

Ships dock in Marseille. Aix lies about 30 kilometres away, a 30 to 45 minute ride by shore-excursion coach, taxi or train from Saint-Charles station.
Yes, by train from Saint-Charles station or by taxi. You first have to get from the cruise terminal into central Marseille, which the port shuttle handles; build that leg into your timing.
Completely. Old Aix fits into a very walkable area, and few Mediterranean calls pack this much elegance into so small a space.
The Rotonde fountain and the Cours Mirabeau, the morning market on Place Richelme, the town hall square with its astronomical clock tower, then Saint-Sauveur Cathedral. Cézanne's studio fits in if the schedule allows.
The main avenue of Aix: a double row of century-old plane trees, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century facades with wrought-iron balconies, and cafe terraces. Halfway along, the moss-covered fountain seeps warm water through a thick green mane.
On the Lauves hill, about 1.5 kilometres from the centre, a steady half-hour walk uphill. The studio remains as the painter left it: smock on its hook, pots, skulls and bottles used in the still lifes.
A thousand years of architecture in one building: an early Christian baptistery resting on Roman columns, a tiny Romanesque cloister and Gothic naves. It also holds the Burning Bush triptych, painted by Nicolas Froment in the fifteenth century for King René.
Every morning on Place Richelme: goat cheeses, olives, melons in season and herbs cut that day. This is the growers' market, separate from the antiques stalls on the other squares.
Calissons, the almond and candied-melon lozenge that Aix confectioners have shaped since the fifteenth century. They travel well and are sold throughout the old town.
Not always. Under six hours in port, the round trip eats up much of the day and Marseille itself offers more. Beyond six hours, Aix is well worth it.
