Create an itinerary including Cours Mirabeau

A wide, bustling boulevard, Cours Mirabeau stretches 440 m (1,500 ft) long and 42 m (130 ft) wide. It has a number of cafes, some more than 100 years old, which were once visited by Nobel laureate Albert Camus. The street's wide sidewalks are planted with double rows of trees. Cool off at the fountains, the largest of which, La Rotonde, lies at one end of the street. The street divides Aix into two portions, the Quartier Mazarin, or the "new town," which extends to the south and west, and the Ville Comtale, the "old town," which lies to the north. Wander from the boulevard to the old town's wide streets and old French mansions dating from the 16th century.

Everytime I walked this beatiful street, I felt like I was mystical adventure. Each time, I made a new discovery.

I think that Cours Mirabeau is the liveliest place in Aix-en-Provence. The avenue is lined with boutiques, restaurants and cafés. It's a perfect place to go for a leisurely stroll, enjoy a cup of...

This is a main street (mostly for walkers) which is lined with lots of different restaurants and shops. It is very wide and public traffic is not permitted.
