Discover the region’s arts and craftsman, museums featuring artists that drew inspiration from the region such as Picasso, Cézanne, Matisse and more, or spend the day wondering the picturesque streets and chic boutiques. Aix is considered by many to be the most elegant town in the region and was founded by the Romans in 122 BC when Caius Sextius Calvinus established a garrison here.  It was given the name of “Aquae Sextiae” after the conquering invader and the local sources which has made it famous as a spa town. After the demise of the Roman empire, Aix was known as a city of many fountains (although it’s difficult to imagine there are 1,000 of them).
