The old town of the latter is only 6 km away. This makes it an ideal place to put down your suitcases during your stay, especially if you have planned a stay in Aix-en-Provence. Indeed, by being more off-center, you will be more likely to have a place to park for free without risk to your vehicle. If you have a fairly limited budget, renting a room in Le Tholonet is probably a better idea than in the center of Aix. Anyway, you stay close!

As it is a nearby town, it is also served by public transport, in particular buses. This makes the location really practical to enjoy the Aix countryside without moving too far from the sub-prefecture.

Finally, Le Tholonet remains a charming village with its small streets and stone buildings. You will have a magnificent view of the Sainte-Victoire mountain, which remains a real treasure in the eyes of the inhabitants of the department. For wine lovers, you can taste the wine of La Palette, which has a controlled designation of origin (AOC).
