Priscilla, No. The inn we loved was in Saint Remy. We stayed in Aix, though, at a Chateau (Chateau de la Pioline). It was interesting, but not great as it was in dire need of repair. The service was average. The food and grounds were nice, but it was away from everything and you needed a car and to deal with parking in Aix (which is a nuisance).

I liked Aix for a day or 2 max, but it is far from other towns. I would prefer to stay in Antibes or Nice or further into Provence in St. Remy, Avignon, or one of the hill towns. Do use Aix as a central spot to visit the rest of Provence. Take the train to Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo (2 hours), so you don't get into too much traffic. You can rent a car and get to the other areas of Provence within about 90 minutes. It is central within Central France, but you have to drive a bit to see any of the other areas in Sthn. France.

Highlights of Aix for us were the wonderful market...be in Aix for this and take the Cezanne walk and visit his studio. Shopping is average. I preferred other towns for purchases. Buy your things at the market. Aix is not as pretty as other areas of Provence. It has a nice boulevard, but you will miss a lot of the Provence flavor if you don't travel to the other areas.
