Food
My suggestions:
- There is many possibilities in Aix en provence town (pizza, baggels, sushi, sandwich, etc.)
- Last year in Germany we went to a restaurant for dinner Saturday evening, I enjoyed that quite much. I would suggest us we continue in this tradition this year as well. I know good and not too expensive restaurants in Aix en Provence city center.
- Anyway, let's me hear your food preferences.
