Two Weeks in in Aix-en-Provence: A Gallery

Posted on June 23, 2015March 7, 2018

May is a magnificent month in Aix-en-Provence.

The skies are clear.

The air refreshing.

And when it gets warm, a little dunk helps.

Light plays on the buildings.

Even this passageway off Cours Mirabeau, the main street.

Market Saturday erupts in Place des Precheurs

and Place Richelme. There are colors

pungent smells

a variety of regional tastes

and sights.

No one really needs a car.

The city’s doors add a little drama

and yet more color.

Near the city’s ornate post office.

Across from the clock tower

musicians gather for a drink

and a song.

A new museum, the Caumont Center of Art

joins older ones, like the Tapestry Museum

and the park and Pavillon de Vendome.

Yes, like our friend Jen, I love Aix.

I’ve never measured a successful trip by how many destinations I can circle on a map or check off a Bucket List. To me the best journey, and the best ravel, moves more like a good conversation. It ebbs and flows. It rarely rushes, but it’s also animated and unpredictable. It is filled with banter and laughter, and invites participants to linger rather than march forward inexorably like a tightly wound clock. Want to have dessert? A second glass of wine? A detour in a back-alley artisan’s shop? A pause at an overview by the side of the trail? Why not. Read more.
