Aix-En-Provence North

Aix-en- Provence is an ancient city on the southern shores of Provence-Alps. It was the hometown of famous French Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin. His childhood home, Jas ou du Mont-Blanc, and his later studio, Atelier Gauguin are nearby.

The city was destroyed during World War II, but the landscape was preserved. Many of the historical buildings have been restored to their former beauty. There are beautiful beaches and mountains that can be reached by car. Walking along the coastline you will find the main attractions of Aix-en Provence.

Paul Gauguin lived in this location from 1882 to 1893. During his stay he took part in many cultural activities. His garden was one of the most popular among the townspeople. The paths were maintained for the public by the local authority. This was done to prevent vandalism. Visitors should wear a hat or umbrella to avoid wet feet.

In the summertime, Paul Gauguin would take his dog outside to look at the water. His home would also have been decorated with his paintings. His garden and the nearby beach were popular attractions for his friends, family and students.

After Paul Gauguin's death, the town was divided into parts. The houses were rebuilt in his style and made accessible by the public. Some of the original buildings have been modified. In fact, there are still many buildings in a different style that was built by his descendants.

Aix is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is one of the most picturesque, yet it also offers a more modern atmosphere. The old streets and the beautiful buildings are still beautiful. It is also home to a museum dedicated to Gauguin's life.
