spring break, partie deux: aix-en-provence

old town of aix


atelier de cezanne
provençal lavender
our next stop was the picturesque town of aix-en-provence.  after dropping our bags at our adorable little hotel, we headed to the old part of town where we semi-inadvertently ran into some friends.  we all shared a lovely provençal meal.  in the morning we explored the old town, where we found another market selling lots of provençal lavender.  then we were off to cezanne's studio which was lovely.  i was truly struck by how simple it was.  then we were back at the train stations to head to nice.
