Follow a focused walk through Aix-en-Provence’s churches, moving from the cathedral to chapels and parish churches with different dedications. Along the way, you will see how sacred places are identified through their names, architectural scale, and place within the city. This route is worth taking for a concentrated encounter with the city’s religious buildings rather than a general tour of Aix-en-Provence.
