Rain falls rather rarely in the Bouches-du-Rhône, but it is not totally absent either, even in summer. What if the rainy weather offered you the opportunity to have other experiences in Aix-en-Provence? A visit to a monument offers you an educational or entertaining experience, as well as shelter from the weather. Why limit yourself to museums when there are so many other possibilities? You can also go shopping, watch a film at the cinema, eat at a restaurant, solve the riddles in an escape game… The choice is yours! With the kids, as a couple or with a group of friends, discover many activities to visit and discover Aix-en-Provence in the rain!
The Granet Museum hosts paintings and sculptures of great value, grouped into several collections. You’ll also find a space dedicated to archaeology, which showcases discoveries from local excavation sites. You can also visit the Atelier Cézanne, and immerse yourself in the daily life of the famous impressionist painter. Do you prefer modern art? The Vasarely Foundation also welcomes you to Aix-en-Provence when it rains.
The Camp des Milles Memorial Site offers an overwhelming, but oh-so-necessary experience. A visit to a former internment and deportation camp immerses visitors in the inhumanity of the Second World War, who emerge moved and troubled.
On rainy days, the most gourmand visitors visit the Calisson Museum and the Confiserie du Roy René. This fun and gourmet tour allows you to discover the secrets of a particularly popular delicacy.
The historic centre of Aix-en-Provence is home to numerous shops. You can treat yourself to a shopping session, between fashion boutiques, bookshops, designer workshops, art galleries… Cafés and restaurants welcome you for a gourmet, refreshing or comforting break.
