Don't plan on doing anything that involves public transport, shopping
(even for food) or museum and stuff - everything is closed on sundays.
What the french do themselves, is meet friends at a café, have dinner
with the family, or go to the countryside. Leave a Comment

Aix has a lot of markets - we were here for just five days, and we came across three different ones.
There is the daily food market in Place Richelm. There was a large arts and crafts one on the Cours Mirabeau on Teusday, and an assorted one around the SW of the outskirts on Wednesday.
All of them pack up at midday. Leave a Comment

Calissons are a confection popular in Aix and throughout Provence. It's an almond shaped confection made of sugar and almond paste. In September there is a blessing of the confections called: la bénédiction des calissons. This ceremony has been held since the seventeeth century to mark the deliverance of Aix from the plague. After the ceremony there is a pagent for the town.
It was unfortunate that we would not be here to experience the pagent. Liz loves her Calissons....it's one of her French addictions. Leave a Comment
