Lovely Stay in Eguilles
My family and I spent two months at Anne's property in Eguilles traveling from the USA. We have four kids aged 8-12 and it was a wonderful stay. Anne was very welcoming and accommodating throughout the summer (and she spoke to us in English as our French is very limited). She gave us recommendations and set us up with her friend who ran a summer camp down the street.
We walked to town (about 7 mins, maybe 1/2 mile) about every day with the kids to get fresh croissants, baguets, and an espresso. We'd then get our supplies at the local market for lunch and dinner, which we'd eat at Anne's outdoor table. The view from the backyard and sunsets over the mountain were pretty incredible.
Our walks and lovely lunches were a trip highlight.
We did not have a car for the summer and rode the bus pretty much everywhere. The ride into Aix is fairly easy and it's a short walk to the bus stop from Anne's place.
My wife and I would do our regular date night in Aix walking around the fountains and lovely cafes. We went to Aix regularly as it was fairly easy to access by bus or sometimes by Uber on the way home (about $21 Uber ride).
One other note is it was hot in the south of France in the summer which is to be expected. The place is somewhat of an "indoor-outdoor" living, which we loved. We had the doors and windows open all summer and used fans at night. It took a bit of adjusting to the heat, but we were overall pretty comfortable in the house. The property sits on a hill and there was often a nice breeze. Or, we'd sit under the olive tree in the yard for some shade.
I'd definitely recommend staying at Anne's property for a lovely "south of France" experience!
