Where we deliver in Aix-en-Provence
- Centre de Congrès d'Aix-en-Provence
- On Boulevard Carnot, at the edge of the old town, above an underground car park: ask the centre for the unloading point and delivery time before confirming the order.
- Grand Théâtre de Provence
- On Avenue Max Juvénal, near La Rotonde: the theatre hires out its spaces for corporate evenings; the delivery access, the time and the use of an outside caterer are agreed with its events team.
- Arena du Pays d'Aix
- On the Trois-Pigeons estate, south of the town (postal address at Les Milles): the venue has its own catering and restricted parking on event days. Have the outside caterer approved and ask the organiser for the vehicle badge.
We also deliver to offices and unusual venues across the city, in particular Pôle d'activités d'Aix-en-Provence, La Duranne, Technopôle de l'Arbois, Rousset.
The local constraint that changes the plan
The old town is a pedestrian area closed off by bollards that stay up at all times: delivery drivers may only enter in the morning, with a time-stamped ticket taken at the entry kiosk and a limited stay. For an afternoon or evening reception in a town house or venue in the centre, delivery takes place in the morning or from the ring of boulevards around the old town, with the last stretch on foot.
Who orders in Aix-en-Provence
Orders come from regional headquarters and service firms in the business park, engineering and research teams (environment, energy, defence, aerospace), the microelectronics cluster around Rousset, and the university and higher education schools.
The big dates in Aix-en-Provence
- Rencontres Économiques d'Aix-en-Provence · every year in early July
- The economic forum takes over the Parc Jourdan: companies and institutions use it to host clients and partners around the debates, with lunches and drinks to organise in a very busy town centre.
- Festival d'Aix-en-Provence · every July
- The opera festival fills the Théâtre de l'Archevêché, the Grand Théâtre de Provence and the Jeu de Paume: patrons and companies entertain guests before or after performances, with cocktail formats suited to the pedestrian centre.
- Festival de Pâques · every year around Easter (March or April)
- The classical music festival, based mainly at the Grand Théâtre de Provence, offers dedicated corporate evenings: an on-site drinks reception is planned according to the venue's rules for outside caterers.
How a delivery outside Île-de-France works
Everything is composed in Île-de-France and carried in a refrigerated vehicle, with an unbroken cold chain from loading to hand-over. The logistics line covers the real round trip, 1500 km, and appears as its own line on the quote.
For a large event, allow 72 hours between the order and the delivery; for a smaller order, 5 days. Payment is received before the service, as everywhere else: nothing is produced before the funds are in.
