16. June 16, 2019 - Wandering around Aix-en-Provence

Funny when you slow down you realize that after great effort, like all the cycling we have done, that you might be a bit tired. With that said we had a lovely buffet breakfast at our hotel and then wandered the streets of Aix. 
Since it is Sunday not a lot is open. We took a little tour on a trolley and learned that Aix was where Paul Cezanne, who was born here and consequently lived and worked here for most of his life. However we were just too tired to pursue visiting the museum. 

Here are photos from our morning excursion and now I think a nap might just be in order.

Statue of Paul Cèzanne avec moi!





Market day!




Hilary and Christopher having a beer with Paul Cezanne at a local sidewalk cafe. Circa 1923. Hmmm, perhaps a Diet Coke too?
