You also need to visit the Musee Granet, but I don't have any pictures of that. :(

Aix-en-Provence: The Market

Aix-en-Provence is undoubedtly one of my favorite cities that I visited in France. If I could repeat this whole experience, I think my number one location choice would be Aix.  The city seems to come alive with outdoor markets more than just once a week, but we were only able to interact with the market just once. I'd like to say that the one time encounter was enough, but it was not.  We must have spent the whole morning just walking around, taking in all the beautiful fruits, vegetables and local produce.

Have a look for yourselves:
