Cezanne’s family home and studio reopen after renovation, and a local museum is staging a major show
On a recent visit to Marseilles in southern France, we took a day trip by train to Aix-en-Provence. It was a pleasant 50 or so minute ride in a clean, comfortable and modern carriage, and the passing scenery of Provence was very pleasing.
Even in winter, fresh produce at the daily market in Aix-en-Provence. Aix has markets for flowers, books and more on different days of the week—but the daily vegetable and fruit market in Pl. Richelme has been in operation since the 14th century.
The storied Chateau D’If sits on the small island of If, just a short ferry ride from Marseille’s Vieux Port. Built originally (depending on your view) to defend Marseille from invasion or to keep Marseille under the king’s control.
