A list of the best tea houses in Aix wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Le Pain Quotidien (literally “the daily bread”).

It’s situated in the market square so you can go after your shopping for a lovely cup of tea, breads and pastries. Be prepared to wait for a table at any time of the year but it’s worth it.
