A day in Aix-en-Provence
A day in Aix en Provence
Just an hour from Villa Bam Bam, Aix-en-Provence and the surrounding area offer a rich and varied cultural getaway.
Before Aix, in Puy Sainte Réparade, the Chateau La Coste, not to be confused with the chateau in the village of Lacoste, is not only a wine estate but also an open-air museum of contemporary art and architecture amidst vineyards and garrigue. Allow 3 hours for a tour of the estate. Numerous restaurants on site, from Mallman to Helene Darroze, and simpler options such as La Terrasse or Café Restaurant Tadao Ando. In high season, we advise you to take this tour early in the morning or late in the day, as the art trail has little shade. Don't forget to bring water.
