Advantages: Friendly people, gorgeous scenery, lovely red wine :-D Disadvantages: Too hot at times
...found some great places to eat (and a couple not so great!).
The best place we ate (and luckily was my birthday dinner) was Restaurant L'Esprit Jardin attached to Hotel des Pins in Bedoin near Mont Ventoux. Absolutely superb! The food was divine, the service excellent and the setting just perfect. I just wish we'd tried the hotel out for our last night as it looked very welcoming but maybe next time!

I hope you find this useful and if you venture to Provence have a fantastic time!...

...Ok.
Today I'll try to show you round my town, Aix-en-Provence...
Aix is a wonderful city in the south-east of France, near Marseille, in the "Bouches-du-Rhône"; the weather there makes it europeean, american, even japanese people's favourite holidays destination in France...
A large part of inhabitants is student, so Aix is a young and dynamic town, always lively, winter as summer! 130000 inhabitants... among which 40000 students!!
Many of them are strangers, they come from everywhere, England of course but also Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Spain, Russia, Italy, Romania, Poland...
That makes Aix a cosmopolitan town, where to meet new persons is really easy and pleasant.
Aix is known for its great culture too! If knowledge interests you more than parties and Swedish girls (or guys!), no problem, Aix is your place too!
Many things...

...the coast to Nice through long queues, Nice has good shops, a long palm lined promenade, but not a very good beach, mainly pebbles.
we stayed overnight in a Villages Hotel for 180 FF per night for a room for three, 25 FF each for breakfast.
The following day we set off for Monaco and Italy but while driving through Monaco and listening to Radio Riviera, (great radio station) we learned that Tim Henman was playing Tennis in the Masters Tournament in Monte Carlo that day, we just had to go and watch and support "our man"..it was baking hot and Tim lost but it was a great match. Then due to our tennis stopover that left us with little time to spend in Italy, we headed for San Remo where we had a very disappointing meal before heading home, back to Provence where we fell into our beds at midnight.
We noticed the temperatures were warmer along...

If you could find a bookshop or library that organised its books by detailed topics rather than alphabetically or by broad genre, I think it's safe to say that the shelf labelled 'Happy Books About Afghanistan' would be one of the emptiest in the shop. A more
I’ve just returned from a holiday in Nice, where there’s approximately 300 days of sunshine a year, there are French women sunbathing topless on the beach, and you can dunk your baguette in your coffee and just sit back and watch the world go by. I went more
My impressions of this game when I saw it advertised on the internet was that it looked like a completely different type of game that I'm used to seeing for the DS.
