Provence Colors

Warm colors...earth colors

Aix en Provence is one big apricot.

Walking apricots too with orange matching man purse and trousers.

Keep cool wearing sheer whites to keep cool and look good in the surrounding earth colors.

You can't go wrong drinking an Italian granité - syrop drizzeled over chopped ice to keep cool.

The many fountains provide cold water. I wanted to jump in.

So much eye candy

So many shades of ochre

Against a robins egg blue = perfection

Peeking into a courtyard.

Why do people ask ' What should we DO in Aix'? Or anywhere for that matter.

Just walk and walk some more.

Feast your eyes.

And eat pistou, a traditional Provençal dish.

Pinky terra cotta walls with olive green doors. The color names sound delicious.

Everywhere places to stop and repose

Browse restaurant menus and never go inside. I do that all the time.
Look at the shadows! No wonder Cezanne didn't want to live in Paris. Don't miss the terrific-playing-forever film at Caumont centre d'Art (something you should not miss) an exquisite 'hotel particulier' on 3. Rue Joseph Cabassol off the Cours Mirabeau.
