Thanks to my dear friend Michele with Hello Lovely Inc, I was able to come across one of my all-time favorite books called Summers In France! If you are into the charm of the French country side - you will love this charming book by Kathryn M. Ireland! Kathryn brings a tumbled down farm/farmhouse glamorously back to to life, adding the perfect hints of bohemian country style! What's so unique about this book is its relation to a personal scrapbook. Kathryn celebrates summer living and entertaining in the French countryside. Nothing seems more charming to me than the beautiful, fun-filled Kathy and her vision of Summers In France! I highly recommend this book and also go check out Michele's blog - she's always cutting edge when it comes to interior design and lifestyle!

Oh my Gordes! Will you look at that view? No, that is not the first nor the last time I’ll be making that joke. As you see I now plan to re-visit Gordes as many times as humanly possible before I eventually pop my clogs. The approach to the little hilltop commune is an experience […]

Aix-en-Provence is a pearl of towns in Southern France. Its cerulean skies, mossy fountains singing an intonation, crooked buildings bowing together under their age, its shutters - their classic pewter against golden walls, make for an all-senses feast. Aix’s size makes it special. The old town is pedestrian-only and one can traverse it from end to end with ease, or spend hours getting lost in its narrow passages and arteries. If you are coming to Aix by car, best to park it in one of the garages on the periphery of town (Parking Rotonde, for instance) and spend the day on foot. 9:00amBreakfast at Maison Weibel2 Rue Chabrier, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttp://www.maisonweibel.com/ Enjoy breakfast at Maison Weibel, where you can sit and watch the bustle of the morning market of Aix from the rattan bistro chairs, while drinking a café and indulging in some of Aix’s finest patisseries. The lineup of patisseries at Maison Weibel look like brightly-colored artwork. Taste the charlotte aux fruits rouges, a tartelette aux fruits or just a classic pain au chocolat. Divinity. 10:30amAu Marché / To the ShopsPlace Richelme The market square facing your breakfast location, Place Richelme, is one of Aix’s daily markets. To me, it is the most visually charming. It is chock full of sundrunk fruits and vegetables, some still bearing evidence of where they were grown. After soaking in this charming square’s offerings, spend some time meandering through the streets of town drifting in and out of the shops. Shop: Rose & Marius3 Rue Thiers, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttps://www.roseetmarius.com/en/ Rose & Marius is a luxury aroma brand born from Provence. The South of France is the source of inspiration for everything they produce. They offer perfumes, soaps, candles, a dried flower bar and customized perfume workshops, where one can create a personalized signature scent (must reserve in advance). Shop: L’Oiseau Bleu20 Rue Granet, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttp://loiseaubleu-aix.fr/oiseaubleu/ The collection at L’Oiseau Bleu is a bohemian mix, a playful whirlwind of curiosities. The shop windows exhibit human-sized birds and rabbits donning lacy attire and leather belts, accented by à-la-mode jewelry pieces. A compelling and well-chosen thrift collection. Shop: Aux Pâtes Fraîches12 Rue Laurent Fauchier, 13100 Aix-en-Provence Pop into this small épicerie (caterer/small grocery stand) to get a feel for how locals do their daily shopping. Full of freshly made pasta, tapenades and lovely cut flowers - each item a treat. Shop: Mes Demoiselles12 Rue Marius Reynaud, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttps://www.mesdemoisellesparis.com/en/cms/11/aix-en-provence A bit of chic and prêt-à-porter feminine fashion in the south of France. Luminous collection full of uniquely French charm and refinement, inspired by the local color palette and sensibility. Each selection a unique creation. Shop: Brocante & Antiquities62 Place Richelme, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttps://antiquites.site-solocal.com/ Stop by a small and special antique shop in the heart of Aix. Travel back in time and discover a vast and curated selection of ancient objects and curiosities. They specialize in paintings and drawings - as well as beautiful vintage frames. 1:00pmLunch at Le Bistro Campra (reserve in advance)5 Rue Campra, 13100 Aix-en-Provence | +33 (0)4 42 23 34 61 Tucked away down a sweet winding side street sits Le Bistro Campra. Very traditional French menu, including terrine/cornichon (wherein you are presented with a large jar of cornichons and wooden tongs). A truly French experience. 2:00pmMuseums! Time for a bit of culture. Hôtel de Caumont3 Rue Joseph Cabassol, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttps://www.caumont-centredart.com/en/home The Caumont Art Center is set in a meticulously restored 18th century private mansion. Admire the monumental acanthus leaf staircase, the red tomette tiled floors and the geometric French gardens. Start with the screening, “Cezanne au pays d’Aix,” which depicts Cezanne’s forceful attachment to town and the Mount Sainte-Victoire. Exhibitions here rotate and are finely curated. Musée GranetPlace Saint-Jean de Malte, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttp://www.museegranet-aixenprovence.fr/en/nc/home.html A well-stocked collection of over 12,000 classic masterpieces. From 14th-18th century French and Italian painters to 19th century Provençale works, the museum is a locus of historically regional artists, particularly in sculpture. 5:00pm Afternoon TreatMana12 Rue des Bernardines, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttps://mana-aix.com/ Mana is a little coffee shop, tucked away in the folds of Aix. Great stop for an afternoon noisette or café. Pâtisserie Béchard12 Cours Mirabeauhttps://maisonbechard.fr/ A true institution in Aix since 1870, pastries and goodies here are as good as they get in France, which is to say, the best in the world.
