Warnings Or Dangers: Look down!
  • Tip Rating:
  • As in much of France, every attempt is made to clean up the streets. But one thing always eludes them...DOGPOO! There's a lot of it, from the Cours Mirabeau to the Cathedrale, so beware - it could be you.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Beware pickpockets
  • Tip Rating:
  • This problem is everywhere, in every town and city, but I thought I'd say beware of this anyway, because it happens, especially in tourist season. Keep your bag under your table, but keep an eye on it. Around the tourist office a lot of people tend to hang about, and there are those that are eyeing what you have.

    Warnings Or Dangers: They prefer suppositories here...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bring medical supplies from home. My friend Ben came here with a cough, and the pharmacist gave him a missile shaped suppository (the pills that ou put up your bum). When he took it back and explained that he would prefer cough medecine to not being able to sit down for a few hours, she became all defensive, saying "but it's really good, I use it, what's wrong with it?" The suppository, it must be said, is a lot more popular in France than in other countries...

     Update on John Malkovich. I was in Aix last January and a friend of mine who works at the travel agency near the Monoprix on the Cours told me that JM no longer lives there. He may have moved to Paris, but I have also heard he'd moved to Boston.

     Rickie, I returned to your great page - this time because we booked a flight to Marseille and I am looking for info on where to base ourselves: Aix or Marseille! You got ME convinced already! Thanks!
