South France Trip - Cote D'zur (French Riviera) - Aix en Provence & Avignon Day 3

Early morning after having nasi goreng, we are ready to see Aix en Provence. Sunny as usual. From Marseiile to Aix en Provence took about 40 mins drive.

Fontaine de la Rotonde

Moi Familie

This is the old town of Aix Provence
 By any chance if we visited a place with old and new version of town we would prefer going to the old version. Admiring the architectures and the environment. Most of the new verison town looks the same, the shops and stores they are similar everywhere.

As usual, tips of the day 'in order to enjoy the journey we must first satisfy our daughter's needs so that we can have a calm and relaxing day. They saw the carrousel. Something different. Usually they are horses or cart that looks similar. But this one, they have different type of rides in the same carrousel. They have rockets, octopus, spaceman and etc. Interesting

Luckily there is a pair of same ride ..

So happy

Enjoying the rides

Next, we walked through the old buildings to find nice places to see and capture.
