BritBox and ITV drama series Murder in Provence was largely filmed on location in Aix-en-Provence<\/strong>, a city in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur region of southern France.<\/p>\n

The picturesque city (known as the \u2018City of Fountains\u2019 for, unsurprisingly, its plethora of fountains) is famous for its university, cathedral and music festival, in addition to the nearby countryside and limestone mountain Montagne Sainte-Victoire.<\/p>\n

Asked if he had time off to enjoy the delights of Provence during filming, Roger Allam (who plays Antoine in the Murder in Provence cast) said he found Aix \u201ca beautiful town\u201d.<\/p>

\u201cYes, we did [explore the area],\u201d he confirmed. \u201cAlas, Patricia [Hodge] wasn\u2019t filming with us in Provence, but the rest of us were staying in a nice hotel and Aix is a beautiful town. I\u2019d been there many years before, as part of the music festival in the \u201890s \u2013 they put on a hybrid opera by Purcell called The Fairy Queen which has a company of actors, ballet dancers, singers and an orchestra, so it cost a massive amount to produce!<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I had an absolutely idyllic time there and I hadn\u2019t been back since, so it was lovely to reacquaint myself with Aix, which is such a beautiful town, and we did get the chance to enjoy it. It was hard work during the week but we had proper weekends off, which was nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Describing his experience filming there, he added that there were a couple of other filming locations featured, including Cassis<\/strong>, a fishing port in southern France.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went down to Cassis where I\u2019ve been before, which is so beautiful being by the sea, we had a beautiful couple of days there.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut generally, it was just being around the town of Aix. It\u2019s called the City of Fountains \u2013 everywhere you go there\u2019s some fountain and of course they\u2019re good at creating shade, so you can enjoy the hot sun but there\u2019s shade too. And the food markets\u2026 it\u2019s glorious.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
