With so many streets alive with people, so many tempting restaurants, cafés and shops, plus the best markets in Provence, it's easy to pass several days wandering around without the need for any itinerary or destination. As a preliminary introduction to Aixois life, a café-stopping stroll beneath the gigantic plane trees that shade the cours Mirabeau is mandatory.
