Whether you are making a stop in the lovely Aix en Provence on your tour of the South of France or you intend to make Aix your home for several months, this spacious 3 bedroom apartment is an excellent option to consider.

• Well equipped kitchen complete with dishwasher, oven/stove, and full fridge with freezer
• Washing machine
• Walk-in closet for storage

• Three bedrooms with multiple sleep layouts: double bed, single trundle bed that can convert into two singles or a double, and two single beds.
• Combination of vintage and modern furnishings

…last but not least: LOCATION! Situated just north of the city center, a brief stroll across the Boulevard Aristide Briand (less than 300m away) will take you to the winding streets of “downtown” Aix, where you will find:

• Markets: You can’t visit Provence without a taste of the famous cheeses, meats, herbs and produce that it’s famous for! There is a daily market in place Richèlme (450m/.3 mi away) and many others on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
• Shopping: from Longchamp to the Gap, Aix has plenty of stores to choose from!
• People watching: Grab a glass of vin (wine) on the famous fountain-filled Cours Mirabeau or one of the many small brasseries that dot the streets.

If you are looking to visit other parts of Provence, Marseille and Saint Remy are not far, or you can create a tour of the vineyards that create the robust “Bouches de Rhone” wines of the area!
