| Villa Gallici is situated on the northern hills of Aix en Provence, 5 minutes' walk from the Cathédrale-Saint-Sauveur and the city historic centre. Aix en Provence is situated at the base of Mount Sainte Victoire, a source of inspiration for both Cézanne and Emile Zola. In fact, Aix has produced many great men. Far from the hustle and bustle of Marseille, Aix offers a monochrome of pink rooves, white earth, soft shady courtyards of plane trees and the winding streets of the town centre. If the Middle Ages made their mark on the urban fabric, the Medieval and Renaissance architecture has gradually given way to the distinctive plush hotels of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. Aix is in privileged situation in the Mediterranean, at the crossroads of the major routes between Italy and Spain. It is has the third-largest student population in France, which adds a particular dynamic to the community. |
