Aix Retro at a glance: a single-storey house of about 100 m² for 5 guests, on the edge of the pedestrian zone of Aix-en-Provence's historic centre. Three bedrooms, one shower room, an air-conditioned open-plan living area and a private patio, all decorated in 1950s style. Bookable on Airbnb and Booking.com.

Wooden bookcase filled with 1950s ceramics, radio, record player and vinyl records

A collectors' home, not a stage set.

Ceramics, radios, a record player, vinyl and vintage film posters: over the years we have gathered these 1950s pieces, which we love for their way of life. They found their place in a house where we spent many happy years.

Exposed beams, a cathedral ceiling, a yellow kitchen and glass doors: every room opens onto the patio.
