Aix = Apricots

This was going to be a post about the marchés in Aix. Instead its a study of the color apricot/abricot. You never know.

Aix is such a warm beautiful town in Provence.

There are many areas with no tourists...especially if you get lost

Just you and the warm, apricot architecture.

Une homme toute en abricot.

An apricot pup visiting SALON COTE SUD. Next year I will wear apricot too

An apricot wall inside Cezanne's house from a year ago. I'm in good company.

I fell in love with this apricot wall on rue Mazarine a year ago. I went back and its still as beautiful.

This year I painted it.

Voila.

The apricot view out my window, over the central marché at Place Richelm, after climbing 5 tortuous flights.

Rows and rows of apricot houses.

Rows of tarte d'abricot at Salon Cote Sud

These unforgettable, apricot figures line the Cours Mirabeau. A don't miss!

An exhibit of French artist, Nicholas de Staël's Provence paintings on 

At musée HOTEL DE CAUMONT. Plenty of delicious apricot.

Drop-dead gorgeous color blocks of slathered paint. My first encounter with his sumptuous works. 

On till Sept 28. Don't miss it in Aix.

Back out in the street - warm, toasty colors.

I didn't expect to fall for a Paul Boulangerie pot of apricot jam. After numerous visits, I succumbed and it tasted very good. Don't ask why I left the half-eaten jar behind, thinking it would be so easy to find in Paris. Not. Only mini-sized jars so far. I'll have to go back to Aix. The new June pique-nique letter is on Etsy. Get French abricots in your mailbox. Thanks for reading Parisbreakfast.  If you liked this post please share with another Francophile. Bonne Week-end
