A TOUR OF AIX'S RELIGIOUS HERITAGE
Go there and contact
From the origin of the spread of Christianity, Aix-en-Provence has always maintained a close relationship with religion: The city was bishopric from the beginning of the fifth century and became the seat of the archdiocese of the ecclesiastical province. Take a city plan at the tourist office and look for religious buildings. You can create a very attractive urban promenade to discover the spaces marked by religion in the ancient capital of Provence. You begin with the church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Seds, a Romano-Byzantine style, before returning to your steps to join the church of the Holy Spirit. Then continue until the Cathedral Saint-Sauveur, whose beginnings were erected in the Fifth century instead of a temple dedicated to Apollo. Finish with the church Saint-Jean-de-Malta, and return to the tourist office via the Cours Mirabeau. A walking and spiritual journey of 4 km.
