Visit to Aix

khayes, which Aix, there are lots of them? It is better always to use the correct full place name.

• Aix-en-Provence, in the département of Bouches-du-Rhône, the best-known Aix
• Aix, Corrèze, in the Corrèze département
• Aix, Nord, in the Nord département
• Aix-en-Diois, in the Drôme département
• Aix-en-Ergny, in the Pas-de-Calais département

• Aixe-sur-Vienne, in the Haute-Vienne département
• Île-d'Aix, island and commune of the Charente-Maritime département

And of course

• Aix-la-Chapelle, or Aachen, Germany

If you mean Aix-en-Provence, http://www.aixenprovencetourism.com/en/ is a good site for information. We've taken a couple of tours through the main tourist office which were quite good although this year we'll have a car through autoeurope.com (Europcar).

Hi Karen -
Check out the recommendations in the Rick Steves 'Provence & The French Riviera' tour book. He has a few local guides listed and their websites are all accessible and in English. You can sign up on line or e-mail the contacts listed for more information and schedules. I was trying to schedule a local tour and found the two people I corresponded with extremely helpful and accommodating. I heard back from them immediately and even though our schedules did not mesh they made recommendations for other local guides. Their websites are www.provenceandwine.com and www.discover-provence.net. Good luck!

Thank you all! And, Chris, thanks for the clarification.......

One that Chris missed is Aix- en- Pains
