Yeah, of course we’re planning to rent for at least a year, maybe even two. The idea is to target THE town and rent while we wait to buy... That way, the kids could potentially stay in the same school.

Nice one! Right on target!

Thanks for your feedback. It's true that Carry is a great spot, but I’m prioritizing schools that are really good around Aix, especially since I work in north Aix.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.

In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?

For a family, which area would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is a bit of a heat trap—how about the villages around it that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling there?
