Aix en Provence

Aix is the birthplace of Cezanne and Victor Hugo. They were friends. Inside this museum are 8 Cezannes. He is considered the founder of Impressionism.  

This is Louis XIV. 

This is a major Cezanne. 

He was also buddies with Giacometti. They have a lot of his stuff. 

This is a little chapel right next door to the museum dating from the Crusades. That stained glass over the altar was novel to me. Many people. Who?  I'll need to research it. 

Aix is famous for all the private mansions. 

This one was given to the city. 

That's all from Aix. It's been over 90 for so long it's just oppressive.
