How is the French town Aix-en-Provence?

Question

My school offers a study abroad there and I am thinking about going there. Is it a nice town? Is there anything to do? How are the people? Would you suggest studying abroad anywhere else (if I wanted to study abroad in France)?

Answer 1

Nice place.  Très français!

Answer 2

It's a wonderful place.  I have known people who did go to school there and they enjoyed it. I thought the area was very nice, so if you have a chance to go.. do it.

Answer 3

It's very nice and sunny!!

If you come in Aix, and you need to change money, we'll meet!!!!

Tell me you were on yahoo i'll remember you and so... you will have a better rate!!

Ahah!

The town is really beautiful, with a big historical center, a lot of fontains, typical markets of fruits and vegetables (very typical of south of france).

I love it!

Answer 4

It's a beautiful place..................... Very posh and kind of expansive!!!!

It's a student town..........so you'll find a lot of stuff to do !!

Marseille is not that far by bus or train, if u wanna see the sea.

there are more things to do in Aix than Marseille.........

It's rather cold in winter compare to marseille (sometimes snow) and hot as h**l in summer.......

I'm sure you will love this place. And girls are hot !!!!!

Answer 5

Its a great place to go. Aix is a college town and you'll have a great time. Its also a very historical so between parties you'll have plenty of worthwhile things to see.

Answer 6

For one year, it is great!

I have been student in Aix for three years. The town itself is beautiful (but a bit expansive) and there are many things to do around: Marseille, Arles, Sainte-Victoire, Avignon, Lubéron, etc...

Please be quick to look for an apartement. It is very fdifficult to find it at a reasonable price from september.
