Aix-en-Provence Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

#Tuscany goes to the distance #Provence, France, is indeed a beautiful place, under the blue sky and white clouds, is the endless lavender. We stayed here for a short stay and the thief stole passports, computers, wallets and more. Also stolen was a credit card parked next to our car and a pair of young Singaporean couples in the driver's seat. Half an hour after the alarm, the local police came to ask about the situation and drove around to look around. There was no result. In desperation, we only drove to the Marseille police station immediately. . . . . . .

The world is so beautiful, I want to see it with you. Take the mountains and rivers. The way you cross the sea world depends on how you look at it after the world. Watch with you.

Have you checked in to the ten most romantic countries in the world?

The ten most romantic countries in the world, you must go and see. ❤①Italy The beauty of Italy is ancient, passionate, fanatical, and more romantic. It's you exploring Audrey Hepburn's footsteps in the Spanish Square in Roman Holiday, it's you gazing at your lover in the Florence Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, it's you pushing a gondola into the small streets and alleys in the water city of Venice. It's you stepping on Sicily to see the most romantic sunset. ❤②France If Paris is a flowing feast, then France is permanent romance. Follow the footsteps of purple water chestnut and cloud sail into Paris, into Provence, into the lavender fields, into the ancient castles full of stories, and also into the arms of your own lover. ❤③Indonesia Bali Bali is known as the island of the gods, a place blessed by heaven, a land full of love, natural and pure beauty, unique Hindu culture. Pursue the freedom and romance of the soul to Bali. ❤④Turkey Turkey, like a wild horse, ran from Asia and crashed into the European continent. When the hot air balloon in Cappadocia rises, I think: I wish you and I can wander in this world with the most humble luggage and the richest self. ❤⑤Slovenia The only country with 'love' in its name, love is romantic because of companionship. And my love is hidden in every moment. ❤⑥Iceland To love at the end of the world is the most beautiful praise for Iceland. I don't have a big wish, my only wish is to go to the end of the world with you. Some people say that the end of the world is loneliness, but it is this loneliness that needs to be loved. Loneliness itself is also a kind of romance. ❤⑦Greece The sunset of Santorini is an indelible romance in life. Love you before sunset, pour all the blue and white in the world, searching for all the sadness and joy in the world. Freeze love in front of your eyes. ❤⑧Maldives At the time you like, in the way you like, do what you like the most. This is the romantic life I want most in the Maldives. ❤⑨Australia Everyone says, you must come to the Great Barrier Reef once in your life. Fortunately, there is love, fearless mountains and seas. I think the mountains and seas are a particularly romantic word, without boundaries, without constraints, both the destination and the home. ❤⑩China The romance of China is hidden in the longing of 'The so-called Yi people, on the other side of the water' in the Book of Songs, also hidden in the persistence of 'I see all beings are grass and wood, only seeing you is the green mountain', and more hidden in the prayer of 'How can the world get the best of both worlds, not betray the Tathagata, not betray you'. The romance of the Chinese lies in the fact that every sentence does not mention I love you, but every sentence is I love you. Life is only a few decades Why be tripped up by trivial matters In the limited life Be braver Love the person you want to love, do what you like Life is meaningful 💕I am three years old who loves to travel💕 Like to follow me

Lake Sainte-Croix, tears of Provence.

In addition to lavender, Provence is also famous for the Verdon Gorge, where the beautiful Verdon River is embedded like a blue ribbon in the winding canyon. Many French people proudly call it the most beautiful canyon. Due to the construction of the Sainte-Croix Dam, the river water is intercepted in the canyon, forming a blue lake, our destination for this trip, Lake Sainte-Croix. Starting from Avignon, it takes more than two hours to drive through the mountains to reach Lake Sainte-Croix. When standing on the Galetas Bridge and seeing it for the first time, the phrase "tears of an angel" suddenly popped into my mind. Due to the lighting, the lake appeared in a beautiful Tiffany blue color. This is a vacation paradise in the hearts of the French people. There are no fancy water activities on Lake Sainte-Croix, the only expense is renting a small boat from a rental company. Hiking, camping, rock climbing, diving, and kayaking are the mainstream activities here, and in order to protect the environment, the small boats on the lake are all human-powered except for a few electric ones. With the excitement of "this is what vacation is all about", I couldn't wait to rent a pedal boat and paddle on the lake. I recommend going upstream, passing through the Galetas Bridge, and playing upstream along the Verdon River. Looking up, both sides are cliffs, and the clear lake water passes through the steep rock walls on both sides. The towering cliffs block the hot summer sun, and when the boat is docked in a place with abundant water grass, the cool breeze in the canyon instantly relieves the heat. Watching young people climb up the cliffs and then jump into the lake while laughing, I couldn't help but admire the courage of foreigners and how exciting they play. The enthusiasm of the French people is also fully released here. Tip 1: The boat rental company provides electric boats, pedal boats, and kayaks. Electric boats are expensive and kayaks are not suitable for beginners. Therefore, pedal boats are the safest and most economical option for recreational boating. 2. Whether you know how to swim or not, it is recommended to wear a life jacket when swimming in the lake. The water is deep and cold, and there is a certain degree of danger. Safety comes first when traveling.

Three days and two nights, the stunning Verdon Gorge + Lake Sainte-Croix!

Welcome to the famous Verdon Gorge! In the heart of Provence, there is a route that brings you close to nature. It allows you to shuttle through the gorge, feel the beauty of Lake Sainte-Croix, and experience the ancient town hidden in the mountains. 1. Panoramic route of the northern line. On the north side, D952 connects Castellane to Lac de Sainte Croix. At the end of this road is the Sainte Croix Lake, which is the main route to experience the canyon. The canyon road is narrow, allowing you to experience the vastness of the canyon and the vertical steepness of the cliffs. Climbing all the way up to an altitude of 700 meters, you may also have the opportunity to see many bald eagles. 2. Panoramic route of the southern line. On the south side, I also recommend taking the D71 that connects Trigance and Aigines. It runs south along the Gorges du Verdon, and is much quieter with fewer cars than the D952. The panoramic views here are also very beautiful, whether it's at the Balcons de la Mescla on the Martell path or at the pass of Illoire. It's worth stopping and staying for a while. 3. The town of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. I am impressed by the beauty and charm of this village, which is located in the center of Verdon Park and ranks among "the most beautiful villages in France". When you first see Moustiers, the first thing that catches your eye is the cliff. The town is built on the mountain, and this small village exudes the atmosphere of Provence: the fragrance of lavender permeates the streets, and the maze-like alleys give you the opportunity to discover beautiful fountains, pottery shops, and more. The Notre Dame de Beauvoir chapel is located between the cliffs, and the climb to the church overlooks the entire town. This is the first time I have felt like I have found a paradise on earth. An impulse to stay. Navigation address: Place de l'Eglise 04360 Moustiers-Sainte-Marie Four, swimming in Lake Saint Croix. The Sainte-Croix Lake, built in the 19th century, is an artificial lake known for its emerald green water. I was really fascinated by its color. I sincerely recommend driving around the lake. Along the way, you can see beautiful villages by the lake... such as Bauduen and Aiguines. On the map, look for the small path down to the lake, have a picnic by the lake, go for a swim, and it's so comfortable. Another important activity on the lake is canoeing, and the boat rental point is at the Galetas Bridge. No input provided. Five, travel. The canyon has no buses, it is recommended to rent a car to go. You can plan to visit Sainte-Croix Lake and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie for one day, and drive along the lake, have a picnic and go boating on the second day. This trip can be combined with Valensole and Grasse to make a bigger circular tour. Sixth, accommodation. 1. Auberge des Salles is located across from Lake Sainte-Croix. This hotel is very comfortable and offers magnificent lake views! Address: 18 rue Sainte Catherine, 83630 Les Salles sur Verdon 2. Hotel and Spa des Gorges du Verdon located on the banks of the Verdon Gorge in La-Palud-sur-Verdon. It features a scenic swimming pool, a spa center, and modern decor. Address: route de la Maline, 04120 La Palud-sur-Verdon Verdon River, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence Valensole, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence Verdon Gorge and Lake Sainte-Croix Auberge du Seigneur des Serres Restaurant des Gorges du Verdon (Hôtel&Spa) Hotel & Spa des Gorges du Verdon

Verdon Gorge, dont missed it!

#verdongorge #france2022 #southernfrance Verdon Gorge is a river canyon in southeastern France. Carved by the Verdon River, it has white-water rapids and cliffs. It is the wonderful place to be! You can rent subs, paddle boats and small boats with an electric motor. The water is beautiful. You can climb the walls and jump from them but be save and check the deep before!

The Santa Croce Lake is connected to the Verdun Grand Canyon. The Holy Cross River Dam, built in 1974, blocks the Verdon River from the valley and forms the second largest reservoir in France, named the Holy Cross Lake. The entire lake is about 22 square kilometers, and the lake is 90 meters deepest. The blue waters form a beautiful landscape. The crystal clear waters are adjacent to the steep stone walls. The gentle sandy beaches and the green forests are the companions. All the beautiful scenery here reminds people of the wonderland. There are vast cliffs, winding creeks, clear lakes, and even mountains, which is a good place to embrace nature.

Oasis in the heart of Aix-en-Provence

I went to Les Thermes Sextius for a full day of relaxation. The thermes are very well maintained and clean. On the ground floor, they have all the changing rooms and treatments rooms. They have a huge variety of treatments from oriental ones, to massages and face treatments. If you buy a treatment, the access to the hot tub, pools and hammam are free. They serve organic tea and water. On the first floor, they have the yoga rooms, the gym, the hamman, the hot tub, the heated chairs and the access to the restaurant. Please note that one has to get dressed in order to access the restaurant "L'Orangerie". I would definitely recommend the hammam and the sensorial showers (the settings are: tropical showers, morning mist, etc). 3 treatments cost 75euros and parking is free. It is also very nice to go around and see the features from the Roman baths. #france #aixenprovence

Autumn in Aix-en-Provence

Located around 30 km north of Marseille, Aix-en-Provence is a university city that is wonderful to be visited in autumn. The inhabitants here are called Aixois and include everyone who lives here, including the students. During autumn when classes begin, it is difficult not to bump into étudiants in this city. The old town of Aix-en-Provence has existed since the Roman times and this is where the beautiful buildings are, such as the town hall, the square, cathedral and other ancient monuments. While here, you should also check out calisson, a traditional French candy that is the specialty of this area. Its origin can be traced back as far as the medieval Italy. #fallingforfall #france

L'Orangerie

I went to L'Orangerie for lunch in-between my treatments are the Thermes Sextius. The pros are that the access to the restaurant is very easy and one doesn't have to exit the Thermes. The food is also relatively healthy. The produce are also high quality, local and the meat is "French beef". The decoration is very nice and the views are very beautiful and instaworty. The atmosphere is very similar to the Thermes so it is easy to stay relaxed. The cons are that the staff is rude (more than expected) and the service was slow. The prices are also quite high: -cocktails start 13euros -an avocado toast costs 20 euros -a café gourmand coasts 13 euros. #france #aixenprovence #aquabella
