Here are two unmissable dates if you are in Aix – the Christmas carol concert at the Cathedral and the International Twin Towns’ Market – both annual favourites.

Bath is our UK twin (a good fit I always think) and they have a brilliant stall each year

Last year’s German stall at the Twin Towns’ Market

at the Twin Towns’ Market.  They bring mince pies, Christmas cakes and crackers – and they sell out really fast!  The Portugese always arrive with lovely pottery, the Italians have great food and the Germans have Christmas decorations and food too.

This market takes place in large tents in the area outside the Office du Tourisme (place Francois Villon) and runs from December 2nd-7th, 10-20:00 exc Wed when it ends at 19:00 and Sat when it ends at 21:00.

The Christmas Carol Concert is a must – it begins at 16:00 on Sunday 4th December, but as many of you will know, the Cathedral gets very full, so an earlier arrival is recommended to guarantee a seat.
