My Favorite Places

Today, since I do not have classes on Mondays I decided to do a post about my favorite places in Aix! This has been my favorite post so far because I did all of my favorite things today, just for you! 

First I started off my morning by doing my favorite thing: RUNNING. I ran for an hour around town and that's pretty neat to be able to explore in my own element. 

After my glorious run in France, I got cleaned up and headed into town with my camera and a good book. There's a coffee shop/bookstore in town called "Book in Bar". It is a British owned bookstore and it is adorable. There's a little window inside where you can order coffee, hot chocolate, and pastries. I order my coffee, go upstairs to my favorite table, and they bring me my coffee on a little tray. I like to bring my book or homework here on Mondays and stay for a couple hours. It's a cute little place to spend the day! 



In Book in Bar people post all kinds of ads on this bulletin board. Most of them are people looking for conversation partners so they can improve their French, English, or even Italian! 





While sitting in Book in Bar and my stomach starts growling, I know it is time for some lunch. Which leads me to my second favorite place! Crêpes à Gogo! Crêpes à Gogo is in a little underground walkway beneath one of the streets in town. They have 80 different kinds of crêpes which are all good so far! 



Today I tried the spinach and egg crêpe which was delicious! 

Right by Crêpes à Gogo, there is the Office of Tourism which I use quite often when planning to go somewhere. It is perfect to have it so close by when I need help! 

My next favorite place is similar to a Neighborhood Wal-Mart, except 1/32 of the size. It's a tiny little store that has mostly everything you need to make a quick dinner without having to go to the grocery store! 


My last favorite place is right by my school and it is where I get a coffee and croissant in the mornings before class! 


Well, these are my favorite places so far. I visit each of these places quite frequently during the week and on weekends. Now you can get an idea of where I spend most of my time!

  1. LOVE the play on pronunciation for your last favorite spot near school: L'Aixicale = lexicale = of or relating to the words or vocabulary of a language. Love the pictures, too. Enjoy a "Tchai tea" and a crêpe for me!
