The exception to my rule.

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

I am not a city lover preferring the peace of more isolated places. However there are a few exceptions and Aix-en Provence is one city that I always enjoy and would have no hesitation in recommending. Aix (pronounced x) is situated 25 km from Marseille in the centre of Provence. Getting there ************ By plane the nearest international airport is Marseille 25 km away. There are frequent flights from the u.k with several airlines. Fares vary ...
...airport has several car hire outlets and again I would suggest you check via the Internet, as it is usually cheaper to pre book from the U.K. There are fast rail links from Paris to Aix and the TGV station is well situated in the centre of town. The train journey takes only 2 hrs 50 mins and I have used it several times with no delays. By car you will need to take the cross channel ferry and then drive the 780 km from Paris. There are excellent ...

...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 to do there. First, of course, "le Cours Mirabeau"! The principal street in Aix, with its typical planes, is lined ...

Advantages: lovely place
Disadvantages: none

A trip to Provence is incomplete without a visit to its capital, Aix. I love Cours Mirabeau, with its pavement lined with brasseries. In summer it has a very enjoyable athmosphere. I remember going to a cafe in the late afternoon, ordering a slice of almond cake, which is a local speciality, and just sitting down and relaxing watching the world passing by. Aix was founded by the Romans and in the middle age was a very important university. Today, ...
