Downtown Aix

The day before I left Aix (and France) Vanessa took me around downtown Aix. It was a nice little “city” and I bought a few things for my family. Aix was slightly more expensive than I was expecting. I might even say it was worse (price-wise) than Stockholm!


Here’s a picture of the main road in Aix. It’s a really beautiful place! The second picture are “Cezanne’s nails” which are nailed into the sidewalks on some of the streets. From what I remember this is the path that Cezanne took when he was sightseeing in Aix (I might have just made that up, but I’ll reconfirm with V!).


Aix is a water town. The city is built on hot springs. Since there are so many natural water sources the city has many fountains all over the place.


These lion door knockers were quite cool! :) I believe the second picture is the top of city hall and finally we all went to have some drinks at a small cafe. Starting from left to right: Laytitia, Jessica (V’s sisters), Carole (V’s coworker) and V. Laytitia is a budding artist, so please do check out her music on her website! :) At the cafe I tried some kind of French drink (can’t remember the name now) which I thought tasted a little like Sambuca.
