Avignon et les Baux de Provence avec Romain

Romain is originally from Avignon so he took me there on a random trip. We had drinks with his grandma and then had dinner with his dad and brother. It was a really fun, mellow trip and on the way back we decided to go to les baux de provence which I tried to go to with the girls the week before but the bus was closed. So since Romain has a car we went together. It means the "beauty of provence" and it really is. It is a medieval town built into the mountain. There wasnt much going on but it was beautiful.

The famous Pont d'Avignon

There is a famous song that goes along as well, "Sur le Pont d'Avignon, on y danse, on y danse. Sur le Pont d'Avignon, on y danse tous en ronde..."

It really is the beauty of provence

Christmas Markets in Aix

So every year all around Europe the Christmas Markets appear. They are not just little street fairs but full on houses filled with every christmas item you can think of. And the whole town of Aix is lit up like a Christmas tree. Cours Mirabeau and all the fountains look absolutely gorgeous. These pictures dont give it justice, but its a glimpse, and they stay up until mid-January.

A bit blurry, but this was us walking home after school.
