Our next destination of the trip was Aix-en-Provence. I have more music. This time, former first lady of France, Carla Bruni.
Aix sits thirty minutes north of the coast. As much as we loved Paris, Aix (pronounced "Ex") was a nice break from the big city. We stayed in the historical downtown which was packed with restaurants, cafes, shops, and markets, all within walking distance. Our twelve bedroom hotel had a restaurant downstairs, gelato shop two doors down, and tons of shops up and down the street. Aix may have been my favorite city of the trip. I highly recommend going there if you ever have the opportunity!
As I mentioned, our morning started with a train ride (with Pimsleur):
I enjoyed a few minutes on our balcony before heading to NICE...

Welcome to our French room for the next few days...
Balcony? OUI!!!
We spent all day winding the streets, shopping and eating!
And stopped by a British looking pub, just in case Brent wasn't able to find a good one in London!
Paul Cezanne lived in Aix, so the next morning we did the Cezanne walking tour and museum.
