Be sure to have plenty of gas in the tank, because Aix-en-Provence is worth a detour. Situated 20 miles from La Bastide-des-Jourdans, it offers up some fantastic attractions, such as Cours Mirabeau and Place des Precheurs. Marseille, 35 miles away, is another destination that’s worth the trek. Take a look around Chateau d’If and Notre-Dame de la Garde, two must-see sights in the area.
