explanation: Located in north of Marseille, Aix-en-Provence was founded in 123 BC by the Roman consul Sextius Calvinus and named Aquae Sextiae because of its hot spring. During the middle ages, Aix-en-Provence was the capital of a prosperous Provence earldom inside Holy Roman empire but annexed by France in 1487. Though an university was founded in 1409, Aix-en-Provence has remained an agreeable town with a tree lined street, Cours-Mirabeau, named for the memory of a local French politician. Its population is 134,000.
