Come and discover, in Aix-en-Provence the capital of Provence, the charms of the Mediterranean and the renowned quality of life in the south of France, as well as our numerous natural and historical sites known worldwide.
The Provence region is renowned for its quality of life: stunning landscapes, beautiful views, excellent food and wine, a mild climate, a rich historical and cultural heritage…
The Provence area offers a lot to explore: historic cities such as Arles, Avignon, Nîmes, the Pont du Gard or the scenic beauties of the Camargue, the Luberon, the Gorges du Verdon or Montagne Sainte-Victoire.
The beaches and coves (“calanques”) of the Mediterranean coast are only half an hour away and offer scenic beauty rarely seen. Provence benefits from a Mediterranean climate characterized by a hot, dry summer, not much rain (less than 60 rainy days a year) and therefore a lot of sun. The climate is very pleasant: it’s summer until October, with temperatures between 25°C and 35°C. And then there is a very mild autumn which sometimes lasts until Christmas, with temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Winters are also mild (usually between 5°C and 15°C) and the famous Provençal light is especially intense in January.
