Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Within a 10 minutes' drive, you are in Aix-en-Provences's center with all its resources. You may walk around and look at the superb "Hôtels particuliers" the small streets and shaded squares, enjoy the museums, the concert hall, the Opera, stop at a sidewalk cafe and take a quiet look at the street scenes. If you prefer to be out-of-town, a 15 minutes drive will leave you in a beautiful natural park, the "Parc Naturel Sainte Victoire", with many beautiful paths ans spetacular scenery.
At about an hours'drive you may visit Arles , Avignon and spectacular Roman ruins.
If you prefer golf, there are three in the vicinity. If you like beaches, there are three less than an hour away, not far from an amusement park. Wether you want to see towns or walk in the countryside, you will not be disappointed. The most difficult is to choose between all the various activities available. If your choice is :"no activity " you may just lay by the pool. Do not hesitate to ask us about all the possibilities around.
