A small town just 30 kilometers from Marseille, Aix-en-Provence is an embodiment of the charm of southern France: lively, colourful, and inviting. Its climate is mild and warm, with 300 days of sunshine a year. It is praised as the city of water and art. The Roman consul Sextius Calvinus was attracted by the place's thermal springs and founded the city, giving it his name: Aquae Sextiae, in 132 B.C. It was the scene of a famous battle in 102 B.C. in which the Romans under Gaius Marius defeated two Germanic tribes, the Cimbri and the Teutones. As the Roman Empire crumbled, Aquae Sextiae was occupied by the Visigoths in 477, suffered from Frankish and Longobard raids, and was captured by the Saracens in 731. During the Middle Ages it was the capital of Provence, reaching its zenith in the 12th century when it became a major center of arts and learning.
