You just have to love Provence. No matter which village, town or city you visit, there is always something special to do and see. Allan

Did you get as far South as Menton? We had a fabulous meal there in a brochette restaurant there on our 2017 trip.

I have been to Menton a very long time ago when I studied in France. But this time we had just a week and we did Marseille – Aix – Moustiers – Verdon – Saintes Maries de la Mer – Marseille. Photos coming soon :-).

We didn’t! My mom absolutely wanted to see them but they weren’t in bloom at the time. We should have come a little later …

Aix is so full of history and beauty. I’d love to visit. Haven’t been yet, spent most of my time in Paris. Wonderful post. Thanks! Cheers.
