There’s one stall on Aix market that offers a present I haven’t seen anywhere else; and that is tiny square soaps each embossed with a letter.
The stall-holder gives you a little tray and you compose a name, mixing colours and maybe adding a couple of hearts or smiley faces. He then encloses the whole thing in cellophane, adds a raffia twist on each end and….voila….something original for a friend, or a Christmas stocking.
It costs 1€ per letter. You can find this stall at the Saturday market in Aix. Due to the Christmas market, it is now relocated to a pitch on the road outside H&M.
