Read More...First of all we want to say that we've loved it here. Of course there is the beautiful Provence with its lovely towns, beaches and mountains. Whatever activity you want to do, you can do it here within a 40 k radius. The flat is very quiet, situated in a park like surrounding but only a 15 minute walk from the bustling town of Aix-en-Provence, a baroque miracle, with many Art galleries, good shops and fine restaurants. The flat itself is lovingly decorated, has some well seized rooms, a well equipped kitchen and possesses a shaded balcony overlooking a garden area. Most of all, however, we enjoyed the contact we had with Michelle and Michel. When we arrived we were greeted by them with a wonderful lunch. Also throughout the exchange we stayed in touch and exchanged tips about the area. Thank you two very much for this wonderful exchange.

The grounds that the apartment was set in was lovely and quiet, views from the spacious balcony were great. Most car trips around Provence from the apartment were no more than a hours journey. A great loation. We were made so welcome by our exchange family, we would recommend a stay in this apartment.
