Saint-Sauveur Boulangerie — Restaurant in Aix-en-Provence

Let me set the scene: you're from the United States and are here in Aix for a month on a study abroad. You miss home. All you want are strawberries and friendly people. You survive your first three weeks in the heat and lack of air conditioning and ice water. People speak a language you barely know, buildings are hot and full of people, and ice is as warm as cookies right out of an oven. Only good part is its automatically filtered. One day after class, you see the yellow and white exterior and yellow and blue woven seats. You walk in and BAM your life is forever changed. In your broken French, you say you'd like a tomato and mozzarella focaccia and your friend orders a tarte fraise. The sweetest, most delightful women take your order. You know you're in for a treat. How could you not when two lovely women help you?! You walk outside back into the heat. Luckily, perched in the shade, are two yellow and blue woven chairs and a yellow table. You sit down, glad that your ginger complexion will not bare another sunburn. You eat your make shift pizza in awe of the flavors melting in your mouth. Then you try your friends tart.

The flakiness of the crust, sweetness of the custard, and freshness of the strawberries fill your American taste buds with wonder and amazement. This, this you realize, is love! You finish your pizza and dream about your lunch for the hours to come. We've made our way in Aix; we have found our place! The next day, and for most days in your last week and a half, you are greeted with the yellow and white sign and lovely staff. Each day you pay your measly euros for the treat that is the experience ar Saint Sauveur Boulangerie. You are forever changed by that strawberry tart. Your life will never be the same and for that, you...
