Why visit
Aix was founded in 123 BC by the Roman consul Sextius Calvinus on its springs, and the Cours Mirabeau — double rows of plane trees, fountains, and the café Deux Garçons where Cézanne and Zola sat — still divides the old town from the new.
Origins and history
Aix, Aquae Sextiae, was founded in 123 BC by the Roman consul Sextius Calvinus, who gave his name to its springs. In 102 BC the vicinity was the scene of the Battle of Aquae Sextiae, where Marius defeated the Ambrones and the Teutones. In the 4th century it became the metropolis of Narbonensis Secunda, was occupied by the Visigoths in 477, and in the following century was repeatedly plundered by the Franks and the Lombards.
