When I was in college, I spent a semester(6 months) in Aix-en-Provence.  Located in southern France, it is a very pretty area with a quiet, slow paced way of life.  Today in 8th grade, we watched Passport to Europe- Provence with Samantha Brown.   She showed several towns in Provence- Les Baux, Nimes, Aix-en-Provence.  What do you think of this area of France?
