Took ages to find this hotel simply because I couldn't believe it was so far out (tip head for Nice peage and then Frejus - green signs - and carry on right through Le Tholonet).
Aix is charming, but hell to drive through or navigate round.

This hotel (Meyrueil 1) looks exactly like a Formule 1 and the furniture is identical to the F1 in Nimes. But is has the all important en suite and air con.
It's in the middle of nowhere but the Campanile nearby has a restaurant and there's a good burger/steak place on the way into Aix (before you get snarled up in the centre) more
