À bientôt Aix
I was lucky enough to squeeze in one last trip to Aix-en-Provence before leaving France. We had to pick up my brother at the TGV station there so we decided to stop by for one final whip around the charming city. Up until that Tuesday, the weather had been glorious; a beautiful sun had blared in the the sky…

Top 10: My Favorite French Cities
[This list is made up of my favorite cities in France, it’s purely based on my opinion of places I’ve been to. That means that places I haven’t been to like Bordeaux, Brittany, and Toulouse, aren’t in the running. These cities are the first places that pop in my mind to show off when I have friends visiting…

Holiday Eyes {Aix-en-Provence}
Something marvelous happened the day after Brazil Day, Mrs. London and I got to go Aix-en-Provence, alone. We were free to wander the quaint streets without a single huff being puffed.(This rare event occurred because Gregory and I were going to Toulon for the weekend. Since Fifty would be keeping Gregory company on the journey…

Aix: Les Lions + Les Soldes
Some Saturdays ago, we decided to go to Aix-en-Provence. I love going to Aix, but I especially love going to Aix when we’re meeting Mr. & Mrs. London. Meeting Mr. & Mrs. London means that Mrs. London and I get to leave Mr. London and The Husband in a pub and then trot off to…

{fondue} Sometimes we like to meet The Londons in Aix-en-Provence on a Wednesday night for a mid-week treat of the dinner variety. They travel an hour northwest, and us an hour south. It’s the perfect meet in the middle. Since we don’t like to dilly-dally on these nights, we usually go straight to Bistro Romain…

staycation {part.7}
“Did you know Aix-en-Provence is known as the city of a thousand fountains?“ This was me getting my tour guide on as we drove into Aix. “A thousand fountains, really?“ This was The Husband doubting my superior tour guide knowledge. Now normally that would have bugged the bejeezus out of me, but due to The…

distr-Aix-tion
The absolute best way for me to wonder the streets (shops) of Aix-en-Provence without the dreaded huff and puff of The Husband in my ears is to keep him occupied. And what’s the best way to keep him occupied (besides food)? With his new man crush, Mr. London. We met Mr. & Mrs. London in…

escape to Aix
{happy girl} Do you see this smiling face? Aidan is smiling because she managed to escape to Aix-en-Provence sans husband, children, and dog to meet up with the girls (not an easy feat let me tell you), and since it’s not often that we get to see each other without husbands, children, and dogs, we decided…

This is a snippet of a conversation that I had with The Husband Friday night in anticipation of our Saturday morning trip to Aix for L E S S O L D E S (to be yelled Oprah style) … Me: “are you sure the stores open at 9?“ The Husband: “yes” W R O…
