1. Cathedrale St Sauveur

Location
Aix-en-Provence

Aix's cathedral has its origins in the 5th century and it has been added to throughout the centuries.

Thus, Romanesque, Gothis, Renaissance and baroque styles are all apparent in its exterior.

Inside, there is a polygonal 5th century Merovingian baptistry (the Frank dynasty) and a 15th century triptych (panel painting) 'Mary in the Burning Bush' by Nicholas Froment.

Services still take place here on a regular basis.

Saint-Jean-de-Malte Church

2. Saint-Jean-de-Malte Church

Location
Aix-en-Provence

This charming little church is located in the centre of Aix en Provence, alongside the Musee Granet.

The church is in regular use for a number of services and ceremonies.

There is a large pipe organ on the first floor, which you may be lucky enough to hear in action on certain days.

You can visit between the hours of 10:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 19:00 every day of the week.
