The parade will take place in the cours Mirabeau at 14:30 ie. no activity in the morning.
The meteo forecast for tomorrow (Dec 16th) is rain, but I can’t find any indication of cancellation. It’s a ceremony dating back to 1256 which celebrates the longest night of the year, as well as Provencal life. Info: http://www.aixenprovence.fr/Bravade-calendale-6492 Let’s hope for a dry afternoon to enjoy it!
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.
