Bread is sacred in France. But very good bread has become very rare.
I buy my bread at the market of Aix en provence ONLY and store it in the freezer.
If you go to the market you MUST try some of the Olive bread and the Chestnut bread.
The baker is situated not far from the café la Madeleine. He is an Algerian and his name is OMAR. Try to make an effort to find him, his bread is really excellent.
Bread : about 5€ / kg Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

Unfortunately , apart for the post cards, it is quite an expensive shop. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Cours MirabeauDirections: From the tourist office, walk all the way up the cours Mirabeau, on the right side (The cours mirabeau, you can't miss, it's like the Champs Elysée in Paris). The shop is at the very end of this avenue

Aix en provence is a very expensive town. Many shops are "prestigious" for cosmetics or women clothes for instance. So don't expect to make deals there. You will find some really nice items though. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Cds, DVDs, this is where I used to come ALL THE TIME. they have most of the new titles in by artists from around the world, not just France, and they have a great second hand section downstairs, where I picked up many a rare CD that I had hitherto not yet found even in London.

Being a student town, and a former home of Zola and others, Aix is a great place to get books. In the Place de l'Hotel de Ville there is a book market every other week on Sundays. Second-hand books can also be picked up at a place in Rue des Tanneurs (I forget the name).
But for first hand books, I don't think they come much better than Goulard. With two entrances (one on cours Mirabeau, next to Quick), this shop is a lot bigger than it seems from the outside. Foreign language books can be found, and all the travel books - of which there are plenty - are downstairs.
Just down Mirabeau is the Librairie de Provence, not as neat as the Goulard, and with more magazines and BDs.
For anglophone books, the best place is Book-in-Bar, a small cafe-cum-bookshop on Rue Joseph Cabassols. It is friendly, has some second-hand books, hosts events, has a WC, and customers can play a game of chess, if they desire.
And for more English (or even German) books, go to Paradox, at Rue du 4 Septembre, in the heart of the Quartier Mazarin. Leave a Comment Theme: Books

Go to Discount Photo, on rue Espariat. I went there almost weekly - they knew my name and everything - because of the good value. A set of doubles is FREE, you can get gloss or matt, you can have the 'marges' - the white borders - free, and all for under nine euros, which is the cheapest in town. For all that? I'm actually saving my film from the Grand Canyon in the USA for when i go back to visit Aix, JUST SO I can develop them here.
They offer you a carte de fidelite at this place, and man, am I fidele!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
