Aix-en-Provence and its Festivals
The Aix-en-Provence ‘Festival de Pâques’ was founded in 2013 by the French violinist Renaud Capuçon and takes place in several venues across the town, including the historic 18th century Théâtre du Jeu de Paume and the spectacular Grand Théâtre de Provence. This annual festival runs for two weeks over the Easter period and attracts internationally renowned musicians. Since 2015, Emilie Capulet has been leading an ACE tour each year to Aix-en-Provence to attend the Festival; here, she shares some of her insights and experiences of the city.
