Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Aix-en-Provence

11 stays · 10 aparthotels and 1 serviced apartments · from €63/night

Aix-en-Provence is a university city in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, about 30 km north of Marseille according to Wikipedia. It is a city where aparthotels and serviced apartments make good sense: visitors tend to stay several nights to take in the fountains, markets and Cézanne sites, students and visiting academics need weeks or months rather than nights, and a kitchen and a separate living area help families and groups who want to shop in the markets rather than eat out every evening.

Where to stay in Aix-en-Provence

Cours Mirabeau and the old centre

  • first-time visitors
  • markets
  • walkable

Wikipedia describes the Cours Mirabeau as a wide thoroughfare planted with double rows of plane trees, bordered by fine houses and decorated with fountains. Wikivoyage says the city is highly walkable, with the centre crossed in about 15 minutes on foot, and lists markets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings. This is the best base for visitors who want everything on foot.

Quartier Mazarin

  • architecture
  • quiet
  • couples

Wikipedia says the Quartier Mazarin was built in the 17th century and contains several notable hôtels particuliers. It lies just south of the Cours Mirabeau on the map, so it is a short walk from the main avenue and the markets.

Sextius and the north-west of the centre

  • walkable

The Sextius area lies at the western end of the Cours Mirabeau on the map, within walking distance of the old town. It suits short stays and business visits where you want to be near the centre.

Cézanne's studio and Saint-Eutrope

  • art lovers
  • quiet
  • walking

Wikipedia says Aix is the birthplace of Paul Cézanne, with his studio and childhood home accessible via walking trails, and the tourist office lists the Cézanne sites as a guided-tour option. The Atelier Cézanne lies north of the old centre, so this area suits visitors who plan their stay around art and the surrounding hills.

Getting around Aix-en-Provence

Wikivoyage says to fly into Marseille or Nice and take a shuttle to Aix city centre, and that the same shuttle line, A2, serves the Aix TGV station as well as the airport. Wikipedia places the TGV station about 16 km from Aix and says Aix and Marseille are equidistant from Marseille Provence Airport. Wikivoyage adds that an express coach links Marseille Saint-Charles station with Aix in 30 to 40 minutes. French Wikipedia says Aix has two stations, with the Gare d'Aix-en-Provence in the city centre serving regional TER trains, and gives the TGV station as 18 km away.

In the centre, Wikivoyage says the city is highly walkable and lists La Diabline electric microbuses on three routes running every 10 minutes, plus a city bus network connecting neighbourhoods and nearby towns; French Wikipedia says the Aix en bus network operates 26 regular lines. The tourist office promotes a City Pass that it says includes access to the bus network.

Living in Aix-en-Provence for longer

For stays of several weeks, the centre and Mazarin put markets, shops and the bus station within reach on foot. Wikivoyage says the city market on the Cours Mirabeau runs on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings (as of October 2023), that the Saturday market is the largest and includes a flower market at the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, and that the main food market is at Place Richelme. Check the market days at the start of your stay.

Wikivoyage notes a strong student presence because of three universities, and French Wikipedia says the city has close to 40,000 students of Aix-Marseille University, so term time can affect how busy the centre feels. For help with longer stays, read the long-stay accommodation checklist, and for work stays see business travel with serviced apartments.

When to visit Aix-en-Provence

Wikipedia says Aix has a Mediterranean climate with an average of 300 days of sunshine and only 58 days of rain.

Wikipedia gives the city about 149,695 inhabitants in 2023 and says Louis II of Anjou granted a royal charter for a university in 1409.
