Aix-en-Provence (finalement!)

I have been in Aix for two weeks now! Everything is going quite swimmingly. My host family is super nice, musical, and large....everything I was hoping for. I have two host sisters, and another girl from the Wellesley program in the house. There's a grand piano, and there's pretty much always someone playing it from 9h-21h.

We also have a pool!

Aix is an incredibly picturesque and sunny city! The cathedral is really beautiful, and is home to a 12th century cloister. I got a private tour of the cloister from an elderly french lady who works at the cathedral. She explained every detail of the carvings.

Outdoor markets are always popping up. I have been to many food markets, but have not yet made it to the clothes market. At the market you can find anything from olives to spices to flowers to cheese. 

Bisous,

Fiona
