When Angie and I arrived in Aix, we asked at the tourism office how to visit Sainte-Victoire, a picturesque mountain to the east of the town. The woman asked, "Are you sporty?" and we responded with a yes. She gave us directions and said it was approximately a 2 hour hike for sporty people like ourselves.

The hike was pretty and the views kept on getting better as we climbed through some rocky terrain.
 |
| Angie being sporty! |
 |
| Up, up, up |
 |
| The cross at the top was our destination! |
 |
| View from the mountain - that speck in the sky? A fighter jet. |
 |
| So close!!!! |
 |
| The 17th century priory - so happy to reach this! |
 |
| Beautiful |
We turned around from there and made our way down the slope.

PS Mont Sainte Victoire was made famous by Paul Cezanne, a painter from Aix.
