Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
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. This boulevard has been built since 1650. It stretches eastward with Place Charles de Gaulle as the center, with a total length of about 500 meters. The two sides are covered with leafy plane trees, and many exquisite and elegant medieval buildings and statues are hidden in it. According to Leonardo da Vinci's aesthetic theory, the width of the street is roughly equal to the height of the buildings on both sides of the road, thus giving a particularly dignified visual impression. 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. Aix is the hometown of the French painter Paul Cezanne, known as the "father of modern art". The city is rich in water resources and numerous fountains, and is also a famous "spring city". In addition to the obligatory avenues of Mirabeau, rich Roman ruins, medieval Gothic and Renaissance-style buildings, you can also hear the unique Provencal dialect of the city of Aix here.
