Aix-en-Provence, France

Since October 20th, 1960 the university towns of Tübingen and Aix-en-Provence have had a partnership. In 1965 Aix-en-Provence and Tübingen received jointly for their activities the Europe Prize. With a multitude of exchange programs, the close relationship of the universities, joint cultural projects and reciprocal visits of merchants on traditional markets (gastronomic specialties, arts and crafts) the mutual interest is still alive and well even after more than 50 years.
