Tourist train Aix

This electric-powered train winds through the narrow streets of Aix-en-Provence, showing visitors the old town with its historic buildings and cobblestone streets. The vehicle has headsets available in eight languages that provide commentary throughout the route.

The train was created to take visitors past sites with Roman origins, including ancient thermal springs and the Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur. This route connects different periods of the city's past on a single journey.

The train passes key squares like Cours Mirabeau, where locals stroll and sit in cafes throughout the day. You can see how this wide boulevard serves as the heart of city life, with visitors enjoying the elegant surroundings and fountains.

The train departs from a spot near the Cezanne statue close to the tourist office and runs in several sessions during the afternoon and early evening. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time to allow for setup.

The vehicle uses sound effects like carriage wheels, fountain sounds, and horse hooves to enhance the historical feel of the ride. These audio touches help visitors better imagine what the older periods were like while viewing the sights.
