Day 46 – Thursday 6 April

Avignon, France (Day 6 of 8).

Aix-en-Provence, France.

This morning, we drove just over one hour south-east to another lovely city, Aix-(pronounced ‘eks’)-en-Provence. Whilst it doesn’t have as many stand-out attractions as the cities and towns we visited on previous days, we enjoyed our stroll around the many lovely buildings and markets.

The Hotel de Ville:

Cathedrale St-Sauveur – a lot of renovations outside, but lovely inside:

Musée Estienne de Saint Jean – interesting exhibition:

Pavillon de Vendome – lovely from the outside, but  uninteresting inside:

We then returned to our apartment, where Di prepared a delicious dinner to celebrate Jo’s birthday.
