Just found out that the annual wine festival is ON tomorrow in the Bouches-du-Rhone.
Lots of vineyards around Aix have tastings and special activities. Good open-air activity if the weather holds.

If you are in Paris right now, you may have caught the unexpected sight of some of the 240 4m x 3m ads pasted in metro stations advertising the delights of Aix-en-Provence. There are two visuals, with the same strapline: La Provence a Un Prenom…et Mon Prenom C’est Aix and here they are: (more…)
Formula 1 at Le Castellet – French Grand Prix
Posted in News on May 8, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Lewis Hamilton (GBR) Mercedes-AMG F1 W09 EQ Power+ at Formula One World Championship, Rd8, French Grand Prix, Race, Paul Ricard, France, Sunday 24 June 2018.
The date is fixed for 27th June for the French Grand Prix at Le Castellet.
It returned to the remodelled circuit in 2018 but the event was marred by poor traffic control for the many spectators who flocked to the track. This meant that numbers were down in 2019, and we all know what happened to 2020.
This year, the organisers are expecting 15,000 to attend. According to La Provence, the government is authorising events up to 5000 outdoors, and so they are forming 3 separate bubbles of 5000, based on 3 grandstands at the 150 hectare site. There is no general admission access.
Tickets are still on sale for the Friday and Saturday.
New Look for Arles Museum

Eleven years. That’s how long the Musée Arlaten has been closed for renovation but with the input of a leading architectural agency and the fabulous Arlesien designer Christian Lacroix, it certainly has style – just see the staircase.
Summer Festivals in Provence – latest

The annual Rencontres d’Arles photography exhibition is taking place 4 July – 26 September, with some modifications: 10 sq m of space will be allocated to each potential visitor. So they will be reviewing all their venues. Fortunately they have the new arts complex, LUMA, to spread into, and will also be using gardens for exhibiting. Actually part of the fun of visiting this sprawling summer show is exploring the venues, so this promises to be a positive and creative solution.

PNU – Walk/Cycle Path in Aix Developing

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.
