These past two weeks I've been near Aix-en-Provence. It is hard to believe that so near to a buzzling town you can find a true French countryside. We've had mostly a gloriously sunny autumn weather and I've been to wonderful long walks in these shaded lanes.
There still are pastures and fields less than a half an hour from the town center. And old manor houses complete with pretty gardens, though more and more new houses are making their appearance in this very sought after residencial area.
J'ai passé ces deux dernières semaines près d'Aix-en-Provence. J'ai profité du superbe temps d'automne pour faire des longues promenades sur les petites routes qui traversent la campagne. Quel plaisir et l'étonnement de trouver une vraie campagne, des prairies et des champs, tout près du coeur de la ville.
