Be sure to have a full tank of gas, because Aix-en-Provence is worth a detour. Located 45 miles from Cruis, it offers some wonderful attractions, such as Cours Mirabeau and Place des Precheurs. Avignon, 50 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the trek. Stop by Palais des Papes and Place de l’Horloge, two great sights in the area.
