Town centre of Aix-en-Provence

The main fountain in the centre of the old district in Aix-en-Provence
Main street on a Monday at lunchtime
Beautiful centuries old Plane trees line the city streets
Cafes are always packed as the French indulge in their national passion
Shops shut from 12.30 until 2.30 so everyone can have a long lunch
Food, wine and conversation for two hours at a time
The city of fountains - this one is eight centuries old
