Better than an excursion, a pleasant walk

An hour and a half on the bus it’s pretty long for a one-day trip, especially since on the way back, you need to add the same time (and sometimes more for traffic). But upon arrival, the reward is there: Aix, its fountains, its Roman city history, its Cours Mirabeau where a light breeze runs through the leaves of the green spring plane trees … In sum, a glimpse of life in a postcard city; only for real.
