We spent the day in Aix-en-Provence (pronounced "x" or "x on Provence"), which is about a 2 hour drive from Nice. I am told Aix is the place to go to experience the "real" Provence. I can't say that I have enough knowledge to know if this represents the "real" Provence or not, but Aix is a very nice place to be. My photos for this day did not turn out so well, but this city is amazing.
The history of Aix dates back to Roman times. The city served as a Roman military camp in 120 B.C. It was the first Roman base outside of Italy.
Aix-en-Provence is famous for great shopping, beautiful people, and the lifestyle - which appears to be very upscale.
I would recommend spending a night or two in this region as there is simply too much to see and experience in just one day.
I can't say that we picked the best of Aix for our dining, but the Bay family had another great day in Provence!
