Aix-en-Provence - Ah, Provence!!!



This past weekend Lee and I spent the weekend with the Damiens, the family with whom Kendall spent a semester her junior year in college. They live in Aix-en-Provence, which is the capital of Provence. This city is steeped in the Roman history of Provence coupled with the fact that famous artists such as Paul Cézanne, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Emile Zola spent many years there. We took a walk down the Cours Mirabeau which is the center of town and the place des marchés lined with trees. We had a limonade and an orangina at Les Deux Garçons, frequented often by famous artists. It was a wonderful weekend, full of the wonderful weather, aromas (lavender!), food, and the "good life" experiences in the south of France.
