This is a picture of the central town square in Aix-en-Provence.  The cathedral is to the left, and city hall is directly behind the photographer.  This is looking at the cafes from the city hall perspective.

Village Squares

I love the little squares that one finds in the villages in Provence.  They are almost like courtyards.  This particular one is in St. Remy-de-Provence.  It has a fountain, and is shaded with chestnut trees.  There are lights strung between the trees and there is a patisserie and a creperie as well as a museum and access to shops across the street.  It is a perfect place to order an espresso and watch the world go by on a beautiful day.

This is one of the most painted fountain squares in Aix-en-Provence.  It is not too far from the center of town.
