Snapshots: Aix-en-Provence


We spent most of the day just wandering. What a beautiful place this is! Just a note: I've done no digital enhancing of these photos, other than a tiny bit of cropping. The colors really are this saturated!



At the marché...





Outside of Cezanne's atelier...

Unfortunately we arrived just as they were closing. I was able to snap a quick picture of the gardens before we were shooed out.

  2. The strawberries! These photos are marvelous, and they relax me just viewing them. I hope you're having a wonderful time there.

  3. Beautiful! I'm taken by the glimpse of the young man in the blue hair, and the other young man who appears to be stomping on pigeons. But the strawberries, and then the artichokes! Thank you for 'taking me along' this way.

    Merci beaucoup! Brings back memories of my junior year in Avignon in 1970. Hope you avoid the mistral.

  13. Aix is by far my favourite town in the Provence. Very peaceful and calm. Too bad the atelier was closing. Can you come back another day?
