j'adore france....

The very talented Patricia from 'Papillon Bleu' http://papillonbleuuk.blogspot.com/ is hosting a 'French Week' & I was invited to join in....which needless to say, I was soooo thrilled to do.

I chose some of my photographs of 'Aix-en-Provence'. I so love this city, it is one of my favorite places. I can't say that it is 'the' favorite, as so many villages, towns & cities in France are amazingly 'Beautiful'!!

I have had several visits to Aix & would always love to return...(perhaps I might be lucky this year?)

I hope you enjoy this glimps of the South of France....of course I couldn't stop at just one or two photos could I???

Thank you Patricia....this has been a lot of fun!

Aix-en-Provence....

......when we went to Aix-en Provence we travelled by the "fast" train, aprox 3 hours from Paris, plus a short bus ride. We stayed at Hotel Augustins, it was very nice and in a fabulous location ..... very central. Just a 'stones throw' from the hotel was "La Caleche" where we had a most enjoyable lunch sitting in the sun under bright red umbrellas....one of those really beautiful days!! We spent the afternoon wandering around the back streets....I have had several visits to 'Aix' and each time I love it more and more....

But it is probably best to let the pictures of the pretty city talk for themselves....
