Aix-en-Provence



About a week ago we spent the best part of a day walking around the ultra trendy Aix-en-Provence. Aix is about 30km North of Marseille; a city of a few hundred thousand. It is a uni town but of the upmarket kind.



We spent the day walking around the old town which got busier as the day got on. The architecture is amazing. The old town has a bunch of squares, situated on old paved stones, which fill with generally young folk drinking coffee or sipping beers. With the sun blaring down it is a perfect setting for a Saturday afternoon.



The students here I would assume have well-off parents as shop after shop are either famous brand names or trendy boutiques. It is apparently the most expensive place to live in France, after Paris.






The whole family came along and we had a great time exploring the streets of the old town. A good place for an investment property.
