We left London at 11 am by Eurostar and was in The Chateau by 7.30 pm local time: earlier if we had acquired the mechanics of Uber sooner. What a beautiful place and part of France Aix is - even more so, I would imagine, in the height of summer. Despite autumn leaves falling it is a charming, relaxing, quiet chateau 15/20 mins from the station/town centre:(£12-16). Don’t be intimidated by the adjacent major road/motorway, once inside the gates peace & tranquility awaits! If you’re not in Provence ‘to tour’ I suggest registering with Uber: most efficient & cost effective. Our amicable and knowledgeable hosts, Clement & Sarah, have four spacious bedrooms on the first floor for guests. Breakfast was always delightful and plentiful – you never know what interesting guests you may meet....and of course the lugubrious boxer-dog, Jax: appearing unexpectedly for your company, one cannot but warm to him. The Chateau is steeped in family history that Clement is always willing to share with you; its extensive gardens invites exploration. Do spend an afternoon “chilling” in the square in the nearby village. An afternoon and an evening meal in Aix old town is also highly recommended. We were here for a short autumn break (5 nights which flew by) and thoroughly enjoyed it; so much so that we will revisit again in the summer months.
