It's beginning to look a lot like Aix-mas

From decorations around town, to the Christmas markets starting, French people are finally getting into the holiday spirit!

Provence is a weird place for all this, though. It may sound like Christmas, it may feel like Christmas, it may even smell like Christmas! It just doesn't look like Christmas belongs here in this town of sandy coloured buildings, bright shutters, orange leaves, and 65°.

I guess I'm just used to my grey New York.



There are Christmas markets set up on the Cours Mirabeau, too. They're open everyday, unlike the big market that happens on Tues/Thurs/Sat.

little kids are so eager for christmas!!!

...but the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door!
