City of water<\/p>

Founded in 122 BC by the Roman general Caius Sextius, Aix owes its name to the presence of hot springs: Aquae Sextiae<\/em>. Even today, the city maintains this strong link with water. At the top of the Cours Sextius, the thermal baths perpetuate the Roman tradition and welcome wellness enthusiasts. But it’s above all the countless fountains scattered throughout the town that make it a refreshing city full of charm. <\/p><\/div><\/div>

In the footsteps of C\u00e9zanne<\/p>

It’s impossible to talk about Aix without mentioning Paul C\u00e9zanne. The painter, who was born and died here, drew inspiration for his greatest masterpieces from the light of the Pays d’Aix. Visit his studio on the hill of Les Lauves, an unspoilt spot where time seems to have stood still, or follow the C\u00e9zanne trail<\/em> offered by the Tourist Office to rediscover the landscapes that inspired the artist. A few kilometers away, the Carri\u00e8res de Bib\u00e9mus offer a fascinating stroll through red rocks and pine trees, following in the footsteps of early Cubism. And as you head back to the campsite, let your gaze rest on the Ch\u00e2teau Noir, the painter’s last refuge facing his beloved Montagne Sainte-Victoire. <\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"lieu":[31],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campingsaintevictoire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alentours\/1607"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campingsaintevictoire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alentours"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campingsaintevictoire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/alentours"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.campingsaintevictoire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alentours\/1607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1609,"href":"https:\/\/www.campingsaintevictoire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alentours\/1607\/revisions\/1609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campingsaintevictoire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"lieu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.campingsaintevictoire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lieu?post=1607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
