For the rest of the afternoon, we walked around more, visiting thousands of cute little shops and stumbling upon music and dance performances here and there. 
We felt like we were eating all day long so we decided to have a simple dinner out of all the food we bought at the market this morning.
Then Chloe put rose petals in the bath to relax at the end of a perfect day!
We came to have afternoon tea and snack at Villa Gallici.
This hotel was my original choice for our stay but after doing much research, we decided to stay close to town where all the actions are. So Chloe was curious to check this place out and I’m so glad we did. It is a B E A U T I F U L place!
We visited Cézanne’s studio where he painted towards end of his life. 
We got a real feeling of tranquility walking around the garden and I could imagine Cezanne creating his masterpieces here. 
The most incredible thing was the preservation of a table, skulls, and other objects he incorporated in his paintings. There was also letters he had written to his contemporaries Monet and Manet. 
It’s a beautiful Saturday morning in Aix and flea markets are opening up on Cours Mirabeau which is just a few steps from our hotel. 
First, breakfast at Patisserie Béchard.
Une noisette, un café au lait, & un chocolat chaud 
Mouth watering sweet fruits
Blocks of cheese
Fresh bread
Taking picture of fountain of Nine Cannons. Chloe’s mission was to take all the pictures of the fountains. Aix en Provence is called the City of a Thousand Fountains.
Chloe got a little Chloé bear for a souvenir.
Eating the most sweetest plums I ever tasted, back in our room.
My beautiful Mom, 70 never looked so good.~
I feel so privileged to be able to do trip like this for her and this will be a special memory for Chloe as well. 
Signed by the whole family.
I am taking my mom and Chloe to France to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday. That’s right, it’s a girls trip! After 7 hr flight to Paris + tax to Train station + 3 hour train ride later, and we are finally in Aix-En-Provence. Yay we made it!
Happy birthday to my mom!!!
Dinner at Le Patio. So So Good!
Amazing Tiramisu
Our suite in this historic hotel right in the center of Old town in Aix-en-Provence.
Yesterday Chloe had her first soccer game this year.
Today is Shane’s first game. 
I have to say I really enjoy coming out in a gorgeous autumn day watching my kids playing sports. 🙂

Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
