There was a wide assortment of gifts and treats on offer.
My favorite stall at the Aix Christmas market was this cotton candy (aka candy floss) stand. They had a ton of different flavors. The end product was bigger than this kid's head!
The leafy fountains in the area looked even cooler by day.
Cours Mirabeau is lined with giant plane trees.
There was also a special area dedicated to
santons, collectible figurines unique to the region. Locals go wild for them, making additions to their nativity scenes each year.
We're not big into Christmas, but we picked up one santon that looked like a farmer standing next to a barrel with a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine -- the perfect memory of our trip to Provence.
