If you're looking for a fabulous holiday getaway, the South of France is tough to beat. We spent almost two weeks in this fair part of Europe soaking up the sun and indulging in excellent food and wine over Christmas. We arrived in
Marseille airport and took a 45 minute bus ride to
Aix-en-Provence.
After dropping off our bags, we wandered into town. We admired Aix' famous fountains decked out for the holidays.
A menorah was lit nearby.
We dined at
Le Cintra, a restaurant that felt decidedly from another time due to the fancily dressed waiters and bright neon signage.
The portions were huge. We enjoyed chicken and frites...
...with a healthy side salad...
...and beef with noodles served in a cast iron pot.
We felt as happy (and full!) as this elf as we strolled our way back toward our hotel.
We were taken by the rather stately faces adorning many of the beige stone buildings.
We walked along Cours Mirabeau which was dotted with traffic circles featuring leafy fountains in the center.
We soon arrived back at funky
Hotel Cezanne to rest up and gear up for some farther reaching exploration in the coming days.
