A Month in Provence Pt3 : Charming Ezes
Ezes is an ancient city filled with history and remnants from it's historic past. There are neolithic ruins at it's feet, vestiges of the celtic occupation across the way, Roman ruins used as a base for the new city and beautiful houses, buildings and monuments from medieval times. However, Ezes is also a modern town with tree lined boulevards, and an enchanting arcaded town square. Ezes boasts fine restaurants, hotels, shops and even a cyber cafe. It also has two market days Wednesday and Saturday. It is one of my favourite places in this area. Please join me for a tour of Ezes.
