Aix en Provence

Aix en Provence is a city packed with people and with many spring fed fountains.

Aix is the place where Cézanne lived and worked.

In many of his paintings the surrounding landscape features as the backdrop. Watching the play of light on the houses and on the landscape it is easy to see what captured his attention and is recorded through his talent.

If you can recall the pictures that he painted try and see whether there is anything in the town of today that you recognise from them.
