It's a really cute village where every few steps is a photo oppurtunity. Nice boutiques and art galleries where we bought wine, lavender soaps, perfumes and souveniers. There is a Castle that is at the beginning but we only had 2 hours there. The charge was 6.90 for adults and students 4.00. I was afraid that if I went in there I wouldn't have much time for the village so we opted out and that was a good decision because we spent the full 2 hours roaming around. On the way back we stopped off for gelato and (you guessed it) free wifi. I felt it was appropriate to try the lavendar gelato which was actually pretty good.
On to Aix -en Provence where we were dropped off by the Apple store which was our landmark, then on to explore for 2 and 1/2 hours. We found a cafe down a narrow alleyway to have lunch which was pizza all though I really wanted to try crepes someplace. Sometimes when you're hungry you just quit looking and settle for what ever is close by. It was a cute place with good food and we sat outside as par for France. There are little alleyways and lots of little stores to see. We were just about to buy some olive oils and thought about luggage. We can't put it in our carry on and were afraid to check it even though we have hard side suitcases so opted out. I really wish I would of bought some in hindsight, but next time I should prepare myself and bring some ziplock freezer bags and then wrap them in clothes. Afterwards I came around the corner and there it was. A restaurant with every crepe imaginable, but now I wasn't hungry.
All in all it was a nice day and the little village was just as I had imagined a little French village to be. Every store with natural stone walls, colorful shops with flowers hanging outside and art gallery's sprinkled thoughout. Goodbye France.
Tomorrow is Italy.
