What terrible news to hear of the collapse of two tenement buildings in the heart of the atmospheric Noailles market, teeming with life and colour.
The BBC website has a very informative illustrated round-up on this, which may be of interest? It includes maps, photos, interviews with various politicians and questions the current spending on new buildings and tourist attractions.
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.
