This three-stage race begins tomorrow. The visual above has the stages but locals may like to watch the start in Aix where there is a ‘village’ with animations and the opportunity to meet the cyclists. This is at the Avenue Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from where the teams will depart at 11:15.
The route takes them around the Sainte-Victoire and they are due to finish at Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseille, 171.4 gruelling km later.

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.

Just looked on their website and it looks to be a wonderful show – lucky guy to have these pictures. And an exhibition of Yoyoi Kusama coming up too – remember those trees in the cours Mirabeau!
