Planning a weekend in Aix-en-Provence? Good news: this charming city, with its fountains, cobbled streets, and Provençal markets, has no shortage of things to do.
But rather than following the classic tourist itineraries, why not discover Aix in a different way, as soon as you arrive?
With Aixplorer, a unique outdoor escape game in Aix, your stay begins with an immersive adventure that's flexible and ideal for exploring the city while having fun.
Day 1: Immersion in Aix with Aixplorer
10:00 a.m. – Launch of the Aixplorer adventure
From the morning, you'll dive into the world of Aixplorer, an escape game like no other.
No closed rooms: here, you play directly in the city streets. Guided by your smartphone, you solve puzzles by following an original storyline, which will take you from squares to fountains, passing through little-known alleyways.
The big plus? You play at your own pace; the format is flexible. The adventure is designed to last all day if you wish, with recommended breaks, good places to go, and surprises around every corner.
12:30 p.m. – Lunch break at an address recommended by Aixplorer
When you feel your stomach starting to grow hungry, don't panic: Aixplorer includes suggestions for local restaurants.
Provençal bistro, sunny terrace, or quick snack, there's something for everyone. The game adapts to your choices, and you can resume your investigation after dessert.
2:00 p.m. – Mission resumes: culture, puzzles and exploration
You continue your journey through Aix, between historical anecdotes and fun challenges.
You pass through emblematic places (Rotonde, Place des Cardeurs, Saint-Sauveur Cathedral, etc.), but also places that even some Aix residents are unaware of.
4:30 p.m. – Snack or coffee break in a lively square
The game suggests a well-deserved moment of relaxation: artisanal ice cream, coffee, or a local treat. Once again, you choose where, when, and how you want to experience your adventure.
6:00 p.m. – End of mission… or extension
You end your journey where everything comes together: last puzzle, satisfaction of having (almost) solved everything, and above all, the feeling of having discovered Aix from the inside.
An ideal activity to do with family, friends or as a couple to start your weekend with a real experience.
8:00 p.m. – Dinner in the city center
To round off this wonderful day, choose an address in the historic center. You deserve it after your successful mission!
Day 2: Culture, relaxation and walks in Aix
10:00 a.m. – Cézanne Workshop or Granet Museum
Immerse yourself in the city's artistic universe by visiting the former studio of the famous painter Paul Cézanne or the exhibitions at the Granet Museum.
12:30 p.m. – Quick lunch and stroll in Jourdan Park
Buy some local produce at the market and settle down in Jourdan Park for a quiet picnic under the trees.
2:00 p.m. – Walking tour and shopping
Walk up the Cours Mirabeau, explore the alleys around Place d’Albertas, and do a little shopping in the local designer or artisan boutiques.
4:30 p.m. – Last photos & ice cream in the sun
Before leaving, don't miss the emblematic fountains of Aix, like the Quatre Dauphins or the Moussue (you will have already discovered some very pretty ones with Aixplorer). Perfect for completing your weekend photo album!
