This year, I went to Aix-en-Provence three times, to visit my family. During each of these short stays, my sister, who has been living in this area for a long time, offered to show me some of her favourite spots.

How about following in our footsteps through the reading of my photo-album? Contrary to an objective guidebook, this little report is a personal introduction to the city of Aix-en-Provence and its area, as seen through my eyes… From the Baroque architecture of the city centre of Aix to the Renaissance Château of Lourmarin, from the charming villages of the “Petit Luberon” to the impressive beauty of the Sainte-Victoire, I hope you will enjoy this short trip in and around Aix-en-Provence as much as I did.

A French version of my photo-album is available at the bottom of this post (la version française de mon album photo est disponible plus bas).
