La Rotonde (above)
In order to break up the trip from Roquebrune back to Paris, we stopped in Aix-en-Provence for one day / night. Aix is a city full of fountains, tree-lined boulevards and squares, plenty of outdoor cafes and boutique after boutique selling regional specialties and handicrafts.

On the place de l'Hôtel de Ville
There are plenty of statues and monuments, from this statue of René of Anjou...
...to this angel-topped obelisque (don't you think every parking lot should have one of these?)
Cookies, Provence-style
