Thanks eagle for this.
I am now taking mosquito avoidance a lot more seriously.
Honestly it is just something I hadn't even considered pre Cafe tips so I am really grateful.
Just goes to show how sheltered from this type of thing that England is.

Moma, Aix is gorgeous. I don't have my trip notes with me but Mai Tai wrote about trips to Aix - there is a restaurant on the cours mirabeau, that is great for dinner, and any of the cafes are great to watch the world go by. It was Deux Garçons? I think.
And if you check out the fork, they have offers for dinner, and reviews and menus to check out.
I rarely had a bad meal in the S of France. Try the local stew and the seafood is also good.

Love Aix-en-Provence! Les Deux Garçons is a must visit! I posted some photos in this old thread of mine: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...he-land-full-of-h.694131/page-2#post-19443678So many people knowledgable about Miami, I'm wondering if I can get the same level of intel about Aix-en-Provence, where I'm going next week for work. I will have some free time, and will be on my own for eating. Suggestions? I know the H boutique is tiny, but I'm hoping they have some pretty things for me to buy and get my VAT refund for.I hope I can escape to Marseilles for a few hours, but not sure.
Post #29 was taken at Les Deux Garçons. Cézannes studio is also worth visiting if you have the time.
I am not a huge fan of Marseilles' scenery but the people were lovely there.
Fabulous info, thanks. @Cordeliere's friend also came through with some restaurant recommendations. Of course I will share pix with you all here!
Oh, @xiangxiang0731, your thread is such fun! Thank you for the link. Fabulous pictures. You hit all the Boutiques! Hopefully the air conditioning works now. I love the posters that you brought back, and that Iris B !!!

Hi sweetie, I am glad you enjoyed them! It was years ago now! It brought back my happy memory of first acquiring Ms Iris too! She's still with me to this day and I was using it yesterday.Wonderful photos! Thanks so much, I had not see those.
Dear momasaurus, so happy you enjoyed them! Yes I did hit all the H boutiques! LOL! The Cannes store has changed since and it's now all one store in a different spot on the same road. And yes the air-con works there now! Hee hee! The Beaulieu concession has now gone (sad). The Monte Carlo store is now in a temp location waiting for the grand reopening later this year.
Just read your thread! Beautiful bag and what a great trip! Looks like some places to visit on a future trip.
Your pix of nice and Monaco brought back happy memories for me too!
You are progressing well, I would love ours to be that fast!
We should get plans this week.
When we have agreed on them then they have to go to the local authority to be approved.
That will take around 3 months if we are lucky.
If they are not approved or if someone objects then who knows how long it could take.
Then we need to get the builder to do the work.
Maybe it will be done this year, probably more likely not until next April onwards.
They won't roof in the first quarter of the year here because of the weather, they maybe even stop at October too.
Fingers crossed for a good planning application meeting with no objections!
Always takes so much time! For our work, all routine at this point, permits are the easy part. It's just that all the contractors are so busy. We scheduled the first available time with our painter, which is early November! If all goes as planned, the windows will be addressed between the roofing and the painting. We have some interior work to do, as well. The good news, we're very pleased with all the contractors we've found to do the work! Best wishes with your approval process, I hope it goes smoothly!
xiangxiang, I loved your travelogue, thanks so much for posting the link.
So sweet that your SO surprised you, and how sly of him with the bit about FL! I haven’t been to that area in a long time, so fun to see your pics! And your iris beauty is gorgeous, one of my favorite colors!
