AIX-EN-PROVENCE: CAPITAL OF THE PROVENÇAL ART OF LIVING
A stone’s throw from Paris, this spa and university city is on the rise! Favoured by urbanites seeking sunshine, an easy pace of life, elegant heritage and addresses with character, housing demand is soaring. Welcome to the heart of Provence.
Isn’t Aix-en-Provence known as a city of water, art and light? Formerly the historic capital of Provence, it shines with its fountains, 17th–18th-century private mansions, shaded little squares and its famed Cours Mirabeau lined with plane trees. Between Cézanne’s studio and the silhouette of Montagne Sainte-Victoire, the Aixoise city cultivates a unique art of living: lively terraces, colourful Provençal markets, thermal baths, museums, sweet treats (calissons!) and a year-round calendar of events — the Festival d’Aix, music, arts and exhibitions — that sets the rhythm of local life with elegance.
Set course for Provence! Here, a wealth of exceptional properties awaits. From the lanes of the Mazarin quarter to bastides with gardens, from prestige apartments to townhouses, buying a home in Aix-en-Provence means choosing a true art of living. Aix is a city made for strolling, from the Cours Mirabeau to its hidden squares; for enjoying refined boutiques and restaurants; then slipping away to Le Tholonet, Puyricard or Luynes. All year long, Aix-en-Provence offers a privileged setting: culture, nature, golf, hiking, well-being… You’ll never be bored, so compelling is the day-to-day quality of life. Is this your dream? Consultants Immobilier will make it real. Between fascination and serenity, embrace the Aixoise spirit — and the dream team of our new agency, wholly dedicated to listening to you and meeting your needs.
Why invest in Aix-en-Provence?
Because the city and the wider Pays d’Aix offer some of Provence’s best real-estate values. The appeal of sun-drenched regions is even stronger in the luxury property segment. Buyers seek exceptional homes in an authentic setting: bastides encircled by gardens, private mansions, apartments with terraces and views of Sainte-Victoire, high-end amenities, noble materials, and insider addresses.
Hot spots? The Mazarin quarter and the Cours Mirabeau for private mansions and character apartments; Le Tholonet and Les Pinchinats for bastides and estate properties; Puyricard, Le Pigonnet and Celony for ultra-premium family villas. Here you’ll find generous volumes, landscaped gardens, pools, and open views over the Aixoise countryside.
Aix-en-Provence is undoubtedly one of the South’s natural and cultural gems. The city exudes the Provençal art of living, rightly attracting investors from around the world. The Festival d’Aix-en-Provence enjoys international renown, and the region’s natural assets heighten its appeal: luminous climate, exceptional landscapes, gourmet terroir, culture and well-being. With all this, residents enjoy a consistently high quality of life—whether for a primary or secondary residence.
What about property valuation in Aix-en-Provence ?
Within this highly sought-after Provençal capital, it’s clear that property prices — both in Aix-en-Provence and across the Pays d’Aix — remain high and resilient. Good to know ? Valuations carried out remotely, or directly via an online form, can lead to inaccurate pricing: an overestimated valuation can cost you precious months without an offer; conversely, an underestimated valuation may speed up a sale… but not in your favour. Only on-site research and checks provide an objective view of your property’s price. Beyond the technical features, many local factors come into play: the exact address (Mazarin, Cours Mirabeau, Pigonnet, Puyricard, Tholonet…), orientation and floor level, the view (Sainte-Victoire, gardens), the condition of common areas, quality of finishes, parking, outdoor spaces, work to be planned, room layout, the DPE (energy performance), as well as the negotiators’ real-world impressions. Our goal ? To deliver the best expertise by visiting your home, for a precise, well-substantiated valuation.
