AIX-EN-PROVENCE AND THE AIX REGION GB DESTINATION TOURISME DESTINATION TOURISME 1 AIX-EN-PROVENCE HISTORY The history of Aix really began In the year 122 B.C., when the Romans demolished Entremont and settled on a shelf rich In hot and cold sprIngs. Thus Aquae Sextiae was born. In the Middle Ages, after the Roman colony was abandoned, Aix became the place of residence of the sovereign counts of Provence and followed its callIng as the regional centre of Provence and an important focus for trade and craftsmanship. Aix founded its University In 1409. After a few eventful centuries, foreign wards, the turmoil of the Revolution and a major economic recession, Aix-en-Provence recovered and further developed its university, judicial and cultural roles. Over the centuries many artists have lived In this city, drawn by its lumInosity. Paul Cézanne was born there. Aix-en-Provence is now a young, lively and animated city all year round, with its population of 40 000 students.

After a period of Romanticism, he discovered Impressionism and then Invented " a new art ", of which he called himself “the "primitive". His quest for expression is revealed through his series of works: portraits, still life, landscapes, and bathers. PaInted In oil or watercolour, they all reveal the work of an obstInate craftsman. He may have left the town of Aixen-Provence, but to return stronger. 3 IMPORTANT SITES IN THE LIFE OF THE PAINTER 2 DOWNTOWN TOURS In the City Centre: «ON THE FOOTSTEPS OF CEZANNE» Cézanne’s Studio or Les Lauves Workshop: 9, avenue Paul Cézanne (City Centre) +33 (0) 4 42 21 06 53 aixenprovencetourism.com Visit: 30 mIn.

UsIng the names of streets and monuments and the commemorative plaques on buildIngs, he will describe great and small moments In the life of Aix past and present: anecdotes that are sometimes unheard of, sometimes surprisIng, at times comical, but always fascInatIng. Let him take you back In time like an unseen observer, listenIng to the people and stories that stirred "the loveliest city In France". BehInd the thick walls of the Cours Mirabeau mansions flows a history that is sometimes as warm as the water of its fountaIns … AIX, CITY OF WATER, CITY OF ZOLA Half-day. The city with many fountaIns owes its reputation to the thermal water which feeds them. Even In the time of Zola and Cézanne, official analyses had already shown that it could be drunk or used for bathIng In the treatment of illnesses. In 1858 Emile Zola, who was then only 18, left Aix-en-Provence for Paris. He had grown up In Aix from his early childhood to the end of his teenage years, and it was the place of his best and worst memories. "Aix, City of water, City of Zola" is your chance to discover the world of the young Zola before his decisive departure for Paris which was to mark the start of his writIng career. "Stubborn and unsociable, puny and pensive", Cézanne wrote of his friend Zola. As you sit at the edge of the most beautiful fountaIns listenIng to a storyteller, you will relive Zola's young years, discoverIng events In his life that will give you a better understandIng of his work and personality. The tour of Aix and its fountaIns will offer you a glimpse of the artist's passionate relationship with the city, and particularly with its water, the recurrIng theme of his youth, a symbol of both pleasure and sufferIng. Listen to the gentle, soothIng sound of the water of the fountaIns and embark on a discovery of Zola as you never imagIned him. "I have already swum In the water of the SeIne. But here, there is no cool sprIng to freshen the wIne; here, there is no Cézanne with his great imagInation, his cheerful and spicy conversation!" (Letter from Emile Zola to Paul Cézanne, 14 June 1858). 68 DESTINATION TOURISME | ROUTES WINE IN PROVENCE (From the romantic property of The XVIIIth to the contemporary architecture of Jean Nouvel) Two very different approaches to life In a vIneyard today.
