Aix-en-Provence and Cassis: heritage and landscapes

A former capital of the County of Provence, Aix-en-Provence reveals itself through squares, fountains and townhouses. Montagne Sainte-Victoire, so often painted by Cézanne, dominates the surrounding landscapes. Farther south, Cassis offers another face of Provence: a Mediterranean harbour, vineyards and the limestone scenery of the calanques. These features offer a photographic journey between city and coast.
