The sunshine, late nights on the beach, and newly purchased speakers have all been treating me far too well here in Cannes. So well in fact that this weekend I left- to Axon Provence. This is a list of where I went and some of what that entailed:
Ales- Van Gogh is a big deal here
Roman Arena
Night Café
Marché (another one) Provencal
Espace de Van Gogh- quote from a pamphlet "where the misunderstood genius spent 15 months of his life painting" The actual building was closed, but that didn't stop us from sitting around the fountain in the garden enjoying the sunshine.
Cathedral d'Images- very difficult to explain, this tops my list of coolest things ever, it was an exhibit of Picasso's work projected three dimensionally all over a big cave, accompianied with music, and it was really cold.
Les Beaux de Provence Village. Medival Ruins. Just like Helms Deep. Except more French. There was a catapult show. We had audioguides. I climbed around.
Avignon
Our Hotel was right by the Palais des Papes (The Pope's House).
Fancy Dinner: Veggy Soup, Salmon, and Cottage Cheese.
Hanging out of the hotel windows, just like the brady bunch.
Out to Red Sky. Bar. Large Outdoor Seating Area. Started to rain ( yesssssssss) Everyone flocked under one umbrella, we were lucky to get a space. Molly and I were the only nonFrench people there, no one bothered us, able to observe, decided that Avignon people are chill and not pretentious, off in the rain to meet up with our other friends at the Irish pub, Born in the USA was playing (????)
Tour of the Pope's house. We had audioguides. If I lived back then I would have definitley sat on the rat hand side of the pope in the Grand Chapell and watched the Pope cut his meet with his Ivory Knife and could only hope I was the recepient of the Golden Rose. The rain falling off the stone work sounded beautiful.
Lunch and chillin.
Wine Tasting.
Home at Cannes.
Good Weekend seeing Axon Provence in France.
