Take to the open road in Aix En Provence in your Avis hire car. With idyllic rolling countryside, picturesque villages and sun-drenched lavender fields, it’s the quintessential place for a road trip.

If Aix En Provence is your base, you can explore some of Provence’s most beautiful towns such as Avignon with its famous Pont d’Avignon bridge, Antibes and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the picturesque hilltop town of Gordes and rustic Rousillon.

With so many enticing places to see, what are you waiting for? Book your hire car, pack your bag and take to the open road.
