Side Trip

Hi Everyone

I%26#39;d like some opinions. We will be in Nice beginning of November. We will be going to Monaco and Cannes but are looking to take a day trip to Avignon or Aix in Provence. I know it%26#39;s a 3 hr. train trip but we don%26#39;t mind that - we will have enough days in Nice to use one on a full day trip. My question is what is your opinion - Avignon or Aix in Provence?? Which one do you think would be better and why? Thanks for any input.

take the train to Aix en Provence or Avignon from Nice, could be disappointing, nothing special to watch ... Why don%26#39;t you go to Marseille ??

Hi jojo,

I would lean towards Aix. You%26#39;d probably get there in the late morning or early afternoon, which would give you 5 or 6 hours to have a casual lunch, stroll the quaint old town, with its winding little streets and alleys, and lovely fountains in most all of the squares. Later in the afternoon, for total relaxation, you can stop off at the legendary Brasserie des Deux Garcons, for a nice glass of wine or whatever, and just people watch. Just enjoy!
