Those are words above Hotel de Ville in Aix-en-Provence. They certainly describe the city and the French and our experience. From walking the endless cobble streets, enjoying the light streaming through the windows of our flat, gathering food at the market, to standing in the ATELIER DE CEZANNE we thanked our lucky stars for this experience. Here are some impressions.

Sunday at Les Marche Narbonne
“The best way to execute French cooking is to get good and loaded and whack the hell out of a chicken.” ~ Julia Child
How do the citizens of Narbonne spend their early Sunday afternoons? Going to market – to purchase, to meet, to spend time with friends, to sell, to eat, drink and celebrate the richness of being French. American commentary is of no use, the French have figured it out.
