Escaping to Aix
The second part of our perfect Provence itinerary takes us to Aix-en-Provence, the gorgeous garden city where washed out colors of Provencal buildings evoke calm and beauty, and the cafes and markets will charm you at every turn. Vendors from all over the region come to Aix several times a week to sell food, herbs, fabrics, and of course everything lavender. You’ll love it here . . .
