I don't have a good representative picture of Aix-en-Provence yet, so I figured a self-portrait of Cézanne would do the trick as it was his hometown. I've never been a big fan of Cézanne though: I find him too "cold" to reach my emotional self. Still, he is considered one of the Fathers of Modern Art + he was a very funny character in his private life. Can I tell you a few stories about him... We could do a walking-tour "in the footsteps of Cézanne". We can have coffee or lunch on the Cours Mirabeau (the main square) and the Granet museum nearby is a bit of a must with its incredibly rich collections of old and new masters from the 14th to the 20th century.

What I particularly like in Aix: they have markets almost every day! My favorite is the textile-crafts-antique market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
