"The White Moonlight of Southern France | Next Stop: Aix-en-Provence"

📍 Aix-en-Provence, France Aix is the hometown of Cézanne—his art may be hard to decipher, but you can walk the same streets he did. Bathed in warm golden hues, this town hides a secret: it’s one of the wealthiest in Provence. You’ll find everything from an Apple Store to Hermès, but what stole my heart? The weekend market! 🍇🦞🍖 From fresh produce to seafood, sizzling grilled meats to Provençal textiles, and flowers so vibrant you’ll want to linger forever. (Seriously, I couldn’t walk away!) And let’s talk about the best madeleines in Southern France—three flavors, sold in batches of six. Locals buy whole boxes (20!), but I hesitated… Big mistake. One bite and I instantly regretted not getting more! 😭 Beyond the market, Aix enchants with its fountains and churches. Many travelers debate: Aix or the famous hilltop villages? A friend of mine picked wrong and groaned over my photos later. If you’re staying in Marseille or Avignon, Aix is the perfect day trip—don’t miss it! #SouthOfFrance #AixEnProvence #Provence #FranceTravel #EuropeAdventures #Wanderlust 🌍💛
