Cours Mirabeau
What the experts agree on
Tree-lined beauty where Aix's social life unfolds. This 1640s avenue, shaded by towering plane trees, buzzes with cafes where Cézanne once lingered. It's the city's vibrant heart.
“Shaded by a double row of tall plane trees, the Cours Mirabeau is one of the most beautiful avenues anywhere.”
– Fodor's
"Named after the revolutionary hero Comte de Mirabeau, it was laid out in the 1640s. Cézanne and Zola hung out at Les Deux Garçons, one of a clutch of busy pavement cafes." Full review
