September in Provence

 September is a great month to visit Provence. The summer crowds have gone, the weather is still hot... but not too hot! Reservations at popular restaurants are easier to achieve.

If you are staying near Aix a visit to the Vasarely Foundation is interesting......



some are immense!


Of course it is great to wander around Aix itself.....


Villages like Cucuron have great small restaurants...... where you can have light tapa style meals.


The Chateau La Coste is great to visit for lunch.......

This can be followed by a walk in the hills behind to admire (or not!) the art installations........


Another interesting place to visit is Arles.... with its Gehry tower in the LUMA complex......




And no...I was not tempted to try the slide!

Arles does have some different, more historic sites!




and a great hotel for lunch...L'Arlatan.......


with it's interiors decorated by Christian Lacroix....
