Location

Hôtel de France is located in the heart of the city and just seven minutes’ walk from the Gare d’Aix en Provence. It’s also within walking distance of Aix en Provence’s cultural museums and the interpretive trail that links Paul Cezanne’s childhood home to his studio, Atelier Cézanne.

If you need some retail therapy, you can head to the upmarket boutiques in the historical heart of the city or watch the world go by from one of its charming cafes. The landscapes that inspired Cezanne around Mount Sainte Victoire are an easy day trip, as are Château La Coste and the picture-perfect village of Lourmarin.

Restaurant / Food

Breakfast is served each morning in the elegant dining room or can be enjoyed in the privacy of your suite, with fresh bread, pastries, fruit and yoghurt included. Plenty of cafes, bakeries and restaurants are located right outside the front door while fresh produce markets are just a short walk away.

The hotel staff are more than happy to offer their local recommendations, whether you want a casual bistro or a Michelin-star experience.
