Went to Aix about 18 months ago. Wasn’t expecting to love it as much as we did. We loooooved it! So beautiful! Chrarming squares and streets. Lovely buildings, stunning store fronts. Found the most delicious bakeries. Can’t wait to go back.
Thank you for your walk around Aix. It’s definitely one of my favouite places in France. Going to a street market there some years ago, I was struck by all the fantastic food available and the total absence of plastic bags. I wish all markets were like that.
I love your travel videos. You do it in a nice quiet, moody and informative way. I am currently in the Puglia region, specifically in Bari. Inspired by your video, yes, I will take the bus to Conversano tomorrow. I wish you a very good summer. Can't wait to see where you've been.
@@happygoluckytravelalso just North of Nice - Vence and St Paul de Vence are so charming! Vence is where the Matisse designed chapel is and there’s a little museum about his years there.
I plan on buying a home in Aix-En-Provence eventually after I graduate college and can afford both cost of living as well as a house there. So I love looking at videos like these especially since I'm able to see places that I might want to visite while there😊
I lived and worked in Aix for a year in 1986. Then the cour Mirabeau was lined with huge lovely plane trees and young men drove their motos up and down, the fountains were havens of beauty in the hubbub with the roi rene standing tall at the top of the cour. People walked it in the evening hours, I especially remember the ladies in flowing bright green dresses which were the fashion that year. And the most memorable French dinner at restaurant le Mazarin. I cried when I had to leave. We visited again in 2019. It wasn’t the same. Everything on the cour had changed.😢
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories of Aix. We often talk about how hard it is to go back to somewhere you loved years ago and find it no longer the same. Of course, we are not the same either, but that doesn't make it any less sad.
@@winstonvlogssorry I don’t know for sure. But I read tuesdays Thursday and Saturday. There are several markets throughout the city. We would go on Sunday mornings sometimes.
We “lived” in Aix for a month in 2021 and LOVED it! Have you found any other European towns that have the same vibe as Aix? We spent almost every day at Place Richelme.
Have you been to Modena, Italy? Modena is a bit smaller than Aix with less trees in the center, yet its also a place that's great for wandering -- lots of small piazzas and outdoor restaurants/cafes, very few cars, mostly people on foot or on bikes. Their fresh market is covered.
Thank you for a wonderfully informative video. Did you have any trouble speaking English in Aix? I would love to go, but do not speak French very well...
Thank you for watching! Many people speak English. It does help to say hello, please, thank you, do you speak English and see you again in French, even if you don't say it perfectly. Translation apps can give you confidence too. Have a great trip!
I'm going to visit next month for the first time. Staying in Marseille but going to spend some time in Aix as well. Any suggestions for places to eat, local delicacies?
Great video! I’m going to Aix in July. Out of interest, what camera did you use for this? I make travel montage videos but I love the commentary you add!
Hi, We're drawn to the water so the Aix nearby towns we like are La Ciotot, La Cadiere d'Azur, and Sanary sur Mer. And most of all the Calanques, especially Sugiton and Morgiou area and lookouts. Cassis has gotten quite touristy.

This makes us happy! One of the best places in Provence, for sure! Thank you for watching.

Hi, where is the food market? Is it on Tuesday of every week? I'd love to bring my family there.

I’m surprised it’s not teeming with tourists
Thank you for watching! We filmed this video in May. Its probably a lot more crowded there already.😀

Have fun! Let us know what you discover on the food front. We liked the Calissons, a cookie local to Aix made of almonds. Enjoy your trip!

Thank you for watching. We use iPhones and a DJI osmo pocket camera.
WHICH NEARBY TOWNS can you recommend? ❤

Did you find the locals to be friendly and welcoming towards tourists in Aix and in the south of France generally?
Yes, everyone we interacted with was very nice. Are you going on a trip soon?
@@happygoluckytravel That´s great. In Spain, I encountered a lot of xenophobia...I hope to go in early June
is it affordable to retire
