Aix by night

Aix is a wonderful town to wander through on a balmy summer evening, although the change of season is clearly here. The air now has a discernable chill at night and the rain is appearing. We are located close to the centre of the old town and it affords us the opportunity to explore all that "old" Aix has to offer.

Quite apart from the beautiful Cours Mirabeau (the main thoroughfare through the old town), the side streets are full of shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. There are many squares (places) scattered through Aix, all offering a space for people to collect. As Aix is a university town, there is always plenty of lively students out and about, adding to the atmosphere.

We have attached a link (right) with a collection of photographs highlighting some of the side streets by night.
