If you haven’t witnessed a Provencal transhumance, or the seasonal movement of sheep, there’s a good opportunity tomorrow (May 6) at Les Milles, not far from Aix.
It starts at 10:00hrs and involves a blessing of the sheep, Provencal dancing, music….all around the old lavoir beside the river Arc; details https://www.aixenprovence.fr/12eme-edition-de-la-transhumance-aux-Milles
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.

Hi – the number 4 bus which goes to Les Milles doesn’t run on a Sunday, I believe, so yes you would need a car.
