Last week, Woon has to attend a conference in Aix-en-Provence, so I tag along.
Aix-en-Provence is a city in southern France, some 30 km north of Marseille. It is located in the Provence region. The population of Aix is approximately 150,00, and nearly 30 percent of residents are students studying there. Its inhabitants are called Aixois. The name Aix comes from the source discovered when the city was founded in 123b.c. by the Romans.
This is la Rotonde, the hub of modern Aix, stands a monumental fountain from 1860 beneath three giant statues representing art, justice and agriculture.
Following are the streets in the old town of Aix. The streets are so narrow, surprisingly, cars are still travelling on these small streets, but only for one way traffic.
There are many restaurants in the small streets.
This restaurant is called "Pourquoi Pas?" which is "Why Not?" in English.
We did not have our lunch at this reastuarant because we were looking for restaurant that serve chicken (because I don't like to eat beef and lamb). Unfortunately, we could not find one and we ended up having lunch in a Vietnamese restaurant, the food there is comme si comme ça (so so only).
I will be writing more on Aix-en-Provence in the next few days.
