…starting on Friday evening with the Provencal celebrations of the ‘Feu de la Saint-Jean’ with dancing and music throughout the evening in the cours Mirabeau, culminating in the traditional bonfire at the Rotonde as darkness falls. 
Saturday sees the opening of the summer exhibition, Passion de l’Art, at the Musée Granet, this year showing 100 works from the Galerie Jeanne Bucher Jaeger in Paris. Have a look at their website for a taste: http://www.museegranet-aixenprovence.fr/expositions/prochainement/passion-de-lart.html
The big free concert, PARADE(S), takes place on the Cours Mirabeau, at 21:45 on 26th June; this year, extracts from Carmen are sur l’affiche.
And finally don’t forget the Flaneries d’Art Contemporain – open gardens which showcase the work of artists and craftspeople throughout the town. A splendid opportunity to get a glimpse behind those high walls! Details: https://www.aix-en-oeuvres.com/flaneries-2017/informations-pratiques/
n on the stage at the top of the cours Mirabeau, presided over by Pablo Moses who acc. to the tourist office is a great name in reggae. Should be interesting.
This is a must for your diary if you are in the Aix area on Friday 16th June….
Museum of Contemporary Art.
This is a young festival, both in its age – it’s just three years old, and in its appeal.
