In Aix, the capital of Provence in Roman times, the Mirabeau Avenue in the city center is a very fascinating area and is recognized as the most beautiful avenue in France.

The two sides are covered with leafy plane trees, and many exquisite and elegant medieval buildings and statues are hidden in it.

In addition, there are many exquisite fountains in the major squares near the avenue, as well as elegant and leisurely open-air cafes, tea restaurants and specialty shops. The "Two Brothers" cafe located on the north side of the avenue has a history of more than 200 years. It has always been a place for artists and literati to meet and learn.

Every morning, the fish market here is very lively, and the wharf is full of small fishing boats and boats. The whole harbor is full of the unique leisure atmosphere of southern France. The master plan of the Old Port Mirror View Pavilion was jointly undertaken by FosterPartners and French landscape architect Michel Desvigne. A huge viewing pavilion of 46 × 22 meters, which is like a mirror, was built here. It is supported by 8 thin columns. Since then, the corners of the mirror pavilion have been gradually thinned to reduce the visual weight. The view of the surrounding old port is reflected from the ceiling of the polished stainless steel mirror, as well as the faces of thousands of tourists who stop to watch, creating a strange beauty, which not only provides a place for tourists to stop and shade, but also It allows tourists to become part of the landscape when they enjoy the scenery of the old port.Marseille · 34.7 km from Vauvenargues

I visited the Round Fountain in Aix. I felt a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by the beautiful fountain and the surrounding greenery. The sound of the water and the light intertwined to create a fantastic space. For a moment, I felt like time had stopped, and it was an experience that cleansed my soul.

In the center of the street stands a large fountain, which is the most lively place in Provence. On both sides of the road are cafes and ice-cream shops. The Lavender ice-cream, Macaron and pizza are very delicious. There are three famous fountains in the street that deserve to be enjoyed.

The Old Port of Marseille is the most vibrant part of the city. The fish market bustles in the morning, cafes are filled with sunbathers in the afternoon, and yacht masts sway in the sunset at dusk. Old buildings line both sides of the port, alongside modern restaurants, and paving stones commemorate World War II. You don't need to specifically seek out tourist attractions; just stroll around, watch the ships, feel the sea breeze, or enjoy a bowl of bouillabaisse by the dock, and you'll experience the city's lively atmosphere.
