Top Town lists are very popular but very subjective! Personal preference can be easily swayed.

New York Habitat Blog are running a series of posts on Top Towns in South of France; so far they have covered:

• Top Towns to visit in the South of France: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence #5
• Top Towns to visit in the South of France: Nice, French Riviera: #4

No 3 on their list is one of my personal favourites; in this extract they give you a flavour of Aix-en-Provence .....

Aix en Provence

Once the capital of Provence, Aix-en-Provence has maintained the majesty and style that comes with being an economic and cultural center. Cours Mirabeau is the center of this charming town. This tree-lined avenue is the perfect place to take a scenic stroll or to watch passersby from one of the many cafés.

Home to several art schools and universities Aix-en-Provence has become the site of several annual festivals such as the International Festival of Lyric Arts and Music and The Dance Festival.
