Aix en Provence, France

The next stop on the MSC Splendida was Marsaille, France which I'm sure is lovely.

But, I wanted to visit a nearby town that I've heard so much about from one of my very favorite bloggers.

Sara in Le Petit Village often writes about Aix-en-Provence.

So, when I saw it was just a short bus ride from Marseille I knew that was where I wanted to explore.

We again joined a ship excursion.  We stayed with the guide for a short time,

but the historical section of the city is small and easy to explore on your own.

We soon ventured away from the group.

We visited the Cathedral and walked along the charming streets of the old city.

We spent some time at a market and I purchased some spices and soap.

We stopped at a cafe for Le Chocolat Chaud and some people watching.

We were only there for a few hours.  Plus, I was in Provence and didn't have any wine!  La tragédie!

But, I wasn't too stressed because I will be returning.

Girl's trip to Provence this Summer!  I'm sure we'll make up for it.

As you can see, this little French "city of a thousand fountains" is absolutely delightful.

I can't wait to go back, see more and drink wine!

Any recommendations for our Provence trip this summer?
