Road
map, Aix-en-Provence, a cross-road for southeastern France /
|
| Skirted by the railroad from Paris to Marseille and the Riviera, Aix-en-Provence has never quite forsaken its first vocation as a cross-road and watering place for travellers on their way from Italy to Spain, from the north to the Mediterranean. | |
 |

| Modern traffic whisks briskly by on its way from Nice, Marseille, Paris, and the Alps, hugging the ancient Roman ways favoured by the early carriageways. The famous N. 7, <nationale sept > which once lumbered through every village and small town on the way to Nice from Paris has been “doubled” by modern highways <autoroutes> which crisscross its path. |
