The latest in the series of ‘Les Dimanches de la Canebiere’ takes place on Sunday. These events have been created to bring people back to the town centre and seem to be getting more and more popular. Lots of activities for the family too – dance, music, games, market – here’s the programme: 2019.04.17_depliant_d2k-complet
We normally park at the MuCEM parking which is really easy on a Sunday.
Remember too that the new Jean Dubuffet expo has started at MuCEM : https://aixcentric.com/2019/04/24/dubuffet-in-marseille/

Aix – Christmas Carol Concert

I know it’s only October but this is an important date for the diary for all those who pack Aix’s ancient cathedral for
the annual carol concert.
It will take place at 16:00hrs on Sunday 2nd December. As regular attendees know, you really do have to be there by 15:30 to get a seat. It is justifiably very popular and a great start to Christmas.
Afterwards, what nicer than a hot spiced wine down at the Christmas market on the cours Mirabeau?

Art in the South of France; the inside story
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.
