CHRISTMAS MARKET in AIX EN PROVENCE
Christmas is upon us and Aix en Provence has set up their annual Christmas Market and lights in the city. We thought we would take you along with us and get into the Christmas Spirit. I never discovered Christmas Markets in the US and it's one of the traditions I love here in France. I love seeing all the chalets lined on Cours Mirabeau where local artisans sell handcrafted goods. There is also so many delicious foods, local olive oil and wine. It is a great way to spend time with family and friends. It's only November and I look forward to seeing what other Christmas festivities Aix en Provence has.

Very nice Chrismas market and glad you both found the vin chaud. Christmas markets I've been to are in Italy near Florence, Oslo, Norway, Munchen, Germany and Chicago, IL. The coldest was Chicago.

@SamFournier 2 года назад

Wow! You have been to tons of Markets 😍 I definitely want to visit more. Happy Holidays Maria.

@Freespirit512 2 года назад

@@SamFournier Bon jour Sam, when I lived in Italy I was able to travel throughout Europe. Also, I have family and friends in Europe which is lovely. Merry Christmas 💖

@arthurmcclain2267 2 года назад

It's so beautiful there, I really wish I was there. I'm glad you guys had fun.

@SamFournier 2 года назад

Thanks Art, we definitely feel blessed to live here.

@BaguettesandBicyclettes 2 года назад

Looks like fun! Hopefully you'll get your vin chaud next time! The first marché de Noël I went to was in a small town called Montbéliard (in the Franche-Comté region just south of Alsace) where I lived as a teaching assistant. It was wonderful! The markets in eastern France are the best I've been to so far.

@SamFournier 2 года назад

Luckily we found some at a restaurant but next time we know exactly where to go!🤗 I would love to see more Christmas Markets, your first market must’ve been so exciting.

Yep Barbe à Papa is the darndest name for Cotton Candy ... And the story behind how cotton candy came to be called "Daddy's Beard" is even funnier XD Calissons are a specialty of Aix year round indeed . But over here in Lille it's often times a Christmas treat gift , but also offered at weddings for good luck. Vin chaud is nice and all but it would be better with some "marrons chauds" Roasted marrons' smell is the smell of Christmas to me . It's also the taste of Christmas :P

@SamFournier 2 года назад

You’re always coming in with the facts, thank you for always sharing. We will definitely be getting some marrons this month!

@mairi_de_provenca 2 года назад

Hey Sam, there are 3 Christmas market stalls offering vin chaud. They are all located in the direction of the Rotonde and Crêpes à gogo. We had some yesterday and today. Profitez ! 💞

@SamFournier 2 года назад

We must’ve missed them, good to know. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for letting me know.❤️🎄

@anaarciniegadedios1958 2 года назад

It looks so beautiful. I will come to spend a Christmas with you in France. I will buy the Santon of the wife pushing her drunk husband on the wheel barrow. Sami, you have loved cotton candy since you were little. I'm glad they have it in France for you. Miss you guys so much. Can't wait to see you in April Sami. Hopefully next year I can come at Christmas time cuz I need Zoom zooms presence too. Love you guys ❤️

@SamFournier 2 года назад

Yes Mama! You definitely have to come visit one year for Christmas, you’ll love it. You’ll just need to invest in winter clothes🤣🤣🤣 Miss and love you Mama❤️

Hi there, from another Aixoise...There are vegan Calissons...I believe I've seen them at Segond. Give Calissons a try, they're good!

@SamFournier 2 года назад

This makes me so happy! Thank you so much for letting me know, I will have to make my way there this week.

There is a big Christmas market in Lille France that we went to a few years ago. There's also one in Reims at the base of the cathedral, didn't make it there but looks beautiful. Rouen is quite nice at Christmas time. In Paris there's the Tulieries Gardens Christmas market which is big, there's others as well but can't remember where they are. There's a nice size one in Bordeaux. I'm sure all the French cities have good ones in general and lots of decent size towns for a more intimate feeling. If you go to the UK at this time of year there is the Bath Christmas market but it's total chaos (just a warning) and there's a large German one in Birmingham. London has a few different spots, Southbank and Covent Garden are two that I remember. In Copenhagen there's the Tivoli Gardens that puts on a nice display. There's some nice markets in Berlin. I haven't made it to the Strausbourg one yet. It's on the list for another time. We're heading to a couple this year in France, Bordeaux and our local town. We're going to Portugal over Christmas and will check out a couple there as well. :)

@SamFournier 2 года назад

There are so many to discover, I would really like to visit Lille. How nice that you’ll be in Portugal for Christmas! I hope you enjoy your stay there, happy holidays!🎄

@Vacationxdad 2 года назад

I love the Santon! Maybe you can start a collection and make a little village like mom used to do every December ✨

@SamFournier 2 года назад

Yes, that’s what I hope to do when we have a bigger space. I definitely want to follow in Mama’s footsteps!

@alexboiko3235 2 года назад

Besides you, I didn't see anything else, but I wanted to see the beauty of the city, a very bad movie

@kaipn8885 2 года назад

Hope could find vegan Calissons, I am also in search of. Please inform if you find

@SamFournier 2 года назад

Yes, someone in the comments let me know where I can find them. I tried them out, and I love them. They’re on Cours Mirabeau at Segond Pâtisserie. Definitely go try them out!

@arthurmcclain2267 2 года назад

How are you doing today? 👍

@SamFournier 2 года назад

We are doing good, it’s pretty cold here in Aix. I hear Los Angeles is really warm right now. We hope you are well!
