If you are in Aix over the Christmas season, firstly lucky you, and secondly, there are a few things open, even on Christmas Day.  The cinemas for starters and also, according to their websites, the Palais des Papes in Avignon, the stimulating Fondation Maeght over at Saint-Paul de Vence, and the dazzling Villa Ephrussi at Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat – but do check by phone before making a journey.

If you aren’t in Aix, here are some reminders:

The Christmas market in the cours Mirabeau

Shop windows full of calissons

Hot chocolate and muffins with Coeur crème de marrons

Santons in displays throughout the town

A moment of peace before the customers arrive…

Tasteful displays in the Quartier Mazarin

And finally, Good King Rene looking down at the crowds in the Cours

JOYEUX NOEL FROM AIXCENTRIC!
