Tous Courts 2026: a film break in Aix-en-Provence

Organiser: Rencontres Cinématographiques d’Aix-en-Provence

Choose your public screenings first, then a central base that makes the last walk home straightforward.

Dates and tickets

The city lists Tous Courts for 1–5 December 2026. Check the venue, public admission, language and subtitles of each screening before booking travel. The municipal listing does not publish prices. A professional market session is not automatically open to ordinary visitors.

Choose the room around your evenings

Compare the old town and Quartier Mazarin against the venues you actually select. Ask about street noise, stairs and late check-in. A countryside property adds a return journey after the final film; agree the pickup and price before committing to the room.

Protect arrival and the return home

Aix city station and Aix-en-Provence TGV are different arrival points. Allow time for the transfer, luggage and a meal before the first screening. Confirm the last bus for your date. Keep museum visits and winter walks flexible, with time between venues rather than stacking a distant Provence excursion into a cinema day.
