Saturday, November 2, 2013

Saturday is the big market day here in Aix.  While John went to get his hair cut, I visited the morning market.  Through the Passage Agard...




...and voila!



The markets are so much fun.  It seems as if everyone in town is there.  In addition to the wonderful produce, they have street after street of antiques, clothing, linens and pretty much anything else you can imagine.  The street performers are out...




...and it is a real treat to find a seat at a cafe and watch the world go by.  We went on a hunt for one of our favorite restaurants.  We remembered it being at the end of a tiny street and had just about given up hope of finding it when a lucky turn took us right to it.

Chez Feroud

This is the restaurant where we first tasted vin d'orange.  It is a wine only made in Provence and usually each family has their own recipe.  Luckily, there is a winery here who produces it and we have found the one shop in town that sells it.  It's a fabulous after dinner drink. Perfect for sipping. We made reservations that night for dinner and had a lovely evening out.
