Welcome to Aix-en-Provence!

Aix-en-Provence is located in southern France, boasting a Mediterranean climate and as much beauty as the French countryside has to offer. In the early 1400s, a charter for the construction of a university in Aix was written, securing the city’s reputation as a major educational hub. Aix still has a thriving student population and excellent night life.

Arts lovers rejoice! Several art galleries and museums are located in the city and each year, Aix hosts some huge musical gatherings. Because of all this art, as well as the beautiful Mediterranean weather, Aix is flooded with tourists during the summer months, but don’t fret! Between your host families, French language partners, and adventures around the area, you’re bound to have an authentic south of France experience during your stay.
