Zeus Prestige delivers luxury car rental in Aix-en-Provence to the door of your hotel, your bastide in the countryside or Marseille Provence Airport. Rent or hire a convertible, a sports car, a supercar, a prestige car or an SUV and set off for the limestone ridges and hill villages of Provence, all within a day's drive of the city.
The Roman consul Sextius Calvinus founded Aquae Sextiae in 123 BC beside the hot springs, after the destruction of the Gallic stronghold of Entremont. Aix became the capital of Provence in the Middle Ages, and Louis II of Anjou granted its university a royal charter in 1409. Paul Cézanne was born here and died in 1906; he painted the mountain behind the city again and again.
Plane trees shade the Cours Mirabeau, where fountains line the old city wall and the Deux Garçons brasserie has served coffee since 1792. Calissons, the lozenge-shaped sweets of almonds and candied melon, fill the pastry shops, and the Festival d'Aix has staged opera each summer since 1948. Beyond the ring road, the landscape turns to scrub, cliffs and vineyards, and the roads get interesting.
A convertible fits this morning loop. Cézanne painted Sainte-Victoire in a long series of canvases from the hills near Aix, and the limestone ridge runs for about 18 kilometres, with the Pic des Mouches at 1,011 metres. A 19-metre cross, the Croix de Provence, stands on the crest. At the foot of the mountain, Picasso bought the Château de Vauvenargues and worked there from 1959 to 1962. With the roof stowed, the warm air smells of pine and dry stone, and the pale cliff stays in view at every bend.
Supercars and sports cars find their match here. Mont Ventoux rises to 1,910 metres, the highest point in Provence, and earned the nickname Giant of Provence. The climb from Bédoin covers 21.8 kilometres and 1,617 metres of ascent, and the Tour de France has crossed the mountain 18 times since 1951. A memorial near the summit remembers Tom Simpson, who died on the slope on 13 July 1967. Past the tree line the road runs bare and white, the wind pulls at the doors, and your heart pounds as the hairpins tighten. UNESCO named the surrounding mountain a biosphere reserve in 1990.
Pick comfort for this long day with a plush grand tourer or a roomy SUV. The Luberon is made up of the Petit Luberon, the Grand Luberon and the eastern massif, and its highest point reaches 1,256 metres. Gordes crowns the Golden Triangle, Roussillon sits on its hill inside the valley, and Bonnieux and Lourmarin stand where the Petit and Grand Luberon meet. Ménerbes is the village where Peter Mayle settled and wrote A Year in Provence. Between lunch stops the leather stays cool, the cabin hushes the road and the gearbox shifts with a soft click.

Each road has its own car. Sainte-Victoire pairs with an open-top convertible, Mont Ventoux with a supercar or a sports car, and the Luberon with whichever model gives the plushest ride.
The summit stands at 1,910 metres. The longest and steepest approach starts in Bédoin, and snow or wind at the top can change conditions quickly, so check the forecast before you go.
Yes. Marseille lies to the south, and Toulon, Saint-Tropez and Cannes follow along the coast to the east.
