Back to France again!! 01/26/23

A long return to France today with 10hrs. Of Delta flight followed by 4 Hrs. Of killing time at CDG and the 3.5 hrs on a crowded train. But, ended up in Aix en Provence for the first time and just as the sun was setting. Interesting light and a beautiful place. Famous for being where Cezanne did a lot of his work. AirBnB is nice, top floor corner studio with lots of double pain windows. That’s good because it is really chilly outside. In the 30s this evening and predicted to have a low of 24f tonight! I did a preliminary walk around, and there are lots of little restaurants and cafes etc. will head to the visitor center tomorrow, but with only 2 full days, will stick to in town exploration including the Cezanne museum and whatever markets are going on. One note if you do come here, the TGV station is quite a ways out of town, there is a shuttle bus that goes back and forth, but I was pretty much done, so grabbed a taxi in. Aix has a population just short of 150,000 so a decent sized city.

Here is the route, almost 800km which would have taken close to 8 hrs. Driving but only 3.5 hrs. By train and cost 26Euros!
