Aix en Provence

I read Perfume from Provence years ago which piqued my interest in the area. And I want to stand amid the rolling hills of lavender and inhale the intoxicating scent !

• Visit the great food markets
• Stroll along the Cours Mirabeau, apparently one of the most beautiful streets in Europe
• Follow in the footsteps of Cezanne, Zola and Picasso by supping at Les Deux Garcons

I spent 7 months here, teaching English in a high school, and although it is a tiny town I never bored with it. The beauty and quaintness of it always blew me away. There is everything you could want, bars, restaurants, nightlife, picturesque alleys and scenery. I hope to be able to get back there soon.

P.S. There is nothing better than the chocolate cake and fruity teas at Orienthé whilst puffing on a shisha. You can spend many, many glorious hours there.

and best-looking girls…

Aix en Provence is a beautiful town. My wife is from Marseille and we usually spend a day in Aix when we are down here visiting her family.

Beautiful architecture and great shopping.
