Aix-en-Provence is a university city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur<br />
region of southern France. It was the birthplace of Post-Impressionist<br />
painter Paul Cézanne, and a walking trail links sites including his<br />
childhood home, Jas de Bouffan, and his former studio, Atelier<br />
Cézanne. The white limestone Sainte-Victoire mountain overlooking the<br />
city and the surrounding countryside were frequent subjects<br />
of his works.<br />

Nice, capital of the French<br />
Riviera, skirts the pebbly shores<br />
of the Baie des Anges. Founded<br />
by the Greeks and later a retreat<br />
for 19th-century Europe’s elite, the<br />
city today balances old-world<br />
decadence with modern urban<br />
energy. Its sunshine and liberal<br />
attitude have long attracted<br />
artists, whose work hangs in its<br />
museums. With vibrant markets<br />
and diverse restaurants, it’s also<br />
renowned for its food.<br />
Monaco is an independent<br />
microstate on France’s<br />
Mediterranean coastline known<br />
for its glitzy casinos, yacht-lined<br />
harbor and prestigious Grand Prix<br />
motor race, which runs through<br />
Monaco’s streets once a year.<br />
Monte Carlo, its major district,<br />
has an elegant belle epoque<br />
casino complex, ornate opera<br />
house and luxe hotels, boutiques,<br />
nightclubs and French and<br />
Italian restaurants.<br />
