Aix-en-Provence and the Cours Mirabeau — 10 minutes from Villa des Lys

Aix-en-Provence

10 minutes away — the city of a thousand fountains

The Cours Mirabeau, the place d'Albertas, the Mazarin quarter, the elegant town houses and the Festival d'Art Lyrique: Aix invites itself to be lived as a leisurely walk.

Provençal markets on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, Michelin-starred restaurants, Cézanne's studio, Musée Granet — Aix's cultural life is a few steps away.

Mont Sainte-Victoire — 25 minutes from Villa des Lys, Aix-en-Provence

La Sainte-Victoire

25 minutes away — Cézanne's mountain

A myth painted and repainted by Cézanne, the mountain unfolds its limestone cliffs between vineyards and pine groves.

The Vénasques trail, the Croix de Provence, the Bimont reservoir, or simply a dinner facing the massif from a wine estate: Sainte-Victoire shifts with the light, never with the times.

Hilltop villages of the Luberon — 35 minutes from Villa des Lys

Le Luberon

35 minutes away — hilltop villages and lavender fields

Gordes, Lourmarin, Bonnieux, Roussillon: the hilltop villages of the Luberon offer one of the finest landscapes in the south of France.

Lavender fields of Sault, the markets of Coustellet, the abbey of Sénanque — a string of images that have shaped the legend of Provence.

Calanques of Cassis — 45 minutes from Villa des Lys, Aix-en-Provence

Les Calanques

45 minutes away — between Cassis and Marseille

The Calanques National Park carves its white cliffs into emerald water. En-Vau, Sugiton, Sormiou: secluded coves reached on foot or by boat.

The harbour of Cassis with its painted cabins, its crisp white wines, and the corniche road of Cap Canaille — the highest sea cliff in France.

Marseille and the Old Port — 35 minutes from Villa des Lys

Marseille

35 minutes away — the Phocaean city

The Mucem, the Panier, the Canebière, Notre-Dame de la Garde: Marseille reveals itself like a Mediterranean mosaic, between sunshine, colourful alleys and the salt air of the Old Port.

For food lovers, bouillabaisse at Vallon des Auffes or wood-fired pizzas — and the view from the Bonne Mère that takes in the entire bay.
