News of a Photography Competition open to all people living in Pays d’Aix. They are looking for your pix illustrating either of these two themes: ‘L’inhabitat et son art de vivre, patrimoine naturel ou culturel de sa commune’ and ‘le portrait de famille, mémoire des habitants et des lieux’. Chosen photos will be exhibited at the Tourist Office. There are also workshops run by professional photographers available.

The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.
