SWEET TREAT
Aix's sweetest treat since King René's wedding banquet in 1473 is the marzipan-like local speciality, calisson
d'Aix , a small, diamond-shaped, chewy delicacy made on a wafer base with ground almonds and fruit syrup,
glazed with icing sugar. Traditional calissonniers still make them, including Roy René Offline map

first-hand, visit its factory Calissons du Roy René (

pointment) , on the city's fringe.
