Aix-en-Provence!

Desiree and I decided that even though we just got back from our one week vacation, that yet another weekend trip was in order. So the 5th and 6th of March, we visited Aix-en-Provence. And what a great choice of cities to visit! It was absolutely breathtaking!

(Plus, I just recently found out that this is the city that the school chose for my stage! Very exciting!)

So here it is, I'll show you around my future town!



Le Grand Théatre de Musique

It was wonderful to see this beautiful piece of modern architechture in this old city.

A square in the middle of the old town.

Of course, the carousel in the city center at night.

Les Cours Mirabeau, a miniture version of les Champs Élisées.

(Where I bought my Longchamps!)

A quaint little market on Sunday mornings!

The most beautiful of the many Marseillan soap stands in the market.

Where I stood for quite a while smelling all the different scents!

(It was hard to settle for just three, good thing I'm going back!!)

  

A wonderful used book market in the place du l'hotel de ville.

The famous Cézanne's studio.

Resting in the sunlight.

(We biked up a mountain to get here!!)

His house and garden.

Fake flowers on sale at the market.

Yes, fake! They we're so beautiful, they looked real!

Roomies sur Mirabeau!

 

The center of the city, La Rontonde!

(My stage hotel is one of the buildings back there somewhere!)

Looking back on our pictures of Aix, makes me so excited to be back there for my stage! It was such a wonderful city!
