Flat in AIX EN PROVENCE, France
Aix en Provence is an important cultural, touristic and university center. Our apartment is situated at the east side of the city center of Aix en Provence just beside a very nice public park. It's a very quiet résidence with nice neighbours. There are convenient bus stops at 50 m by feet otherwise it is pleasant to walk 15 min to go downtown. The tourism information center offer a large array of guided tours (fountains, 18 th century houses...)
The international Marseille Provence airport is 30 min far. There are regular connections from airport to the city center. The TGV (train) station is 15min far and allows to reach Paris in 3 hours. You can also drive our own car to explore the region, it is a recent car "Citroen C3 Picasso". To go to Marseille we'll recommend you the regular buses with departures every 5min during rush hours/ every 5 to 20 min from the Aix bus station.
In the country side there are many pleasant typical Provencal villages all around "le Luberon" and "les Alpilles". The national natural park of Camargue is one hour far and is available to go for a nice day trip. That will offer you a wonderful souvenir.
If you come back home before 9pm in summer do not hesitate to have a bath in the quiet swimming pool of the residence!
Members of our family: Philippe is just retired and was an air trafic controller, Annick also just retired was a primary school teacher. Our two children live on their own. Julie works in Marseille and Thomas has been working since 6 years in Hong Kong and married last year over there.

Extremely helpful hosts, and we had such a wonderful time there. We would highly recommend these folks (flexible, relaxed, and understanding) and their upscale apartment/condo just a pleasant walk from Aix!!
Our hosts were incredibly flexible, communicative and helpful; we very much liked their home, and had a great time visiting Aix-en-Provence. We got positively drenched from a downpour as we departed the car at the airport in Marseille, but smiled all the way onto the plane because we had enjoyed our stay so much! Highly recommended exchange partners!!

Philippe and I take advantage of our retirement to travel and discover other cultures. We visit museums and national parks. We try as much as possible to ride our bikes wherever the opportunity arises. It happens that my sister, 57 years old, an English teacher in the Paris area, accompanies us during school vacations. With our daughter and her partner, who are also exchanging their apartment in Aix en Provence, we like to communicate about our respective travels !
Philippe et moi profitons de notre retraite pour voyager, découvrir d'autres cultures. Nous visitons musées et parcs nationaux. Nous essayons le plus possible de circuler à vélo partout où l'occasion se présente. Il arrive que ma sœur, 57 ans, professeur d'anglais dans la région parisienne nous accompagne lors des congés scolaires. Avec notre fille et son compagnon, qui échangent aussi leur appartement d'Aix en Provence, nous aimons communiquer sur nos voyages respectifs!!
