As the Cézanne 2025 festival kicks off in Aix-en-Provence, let's look back on the artist's most favorite place in the world, and the summers he spent roaming its countryside.
Ironically, mass market films capture the spirit of the Aixian countryside very well. I am thinking of Meg Ryan in "French Kiss" and Keanu Reeves in "A Walk in the Clouds " among others.
French Kiss is a slyly brilliant romantic comedy. A Walk in the Clouds is a dreamy as Keanu himself. Not sure how they have aged in the 30 years though.
Thank you.....
Lucidly written and very informative - thank you!
Thank you so much!
Love this Nicole. Such a beautiful tribute, and have to say that final sentence really gave me shivers today. Thank you. :)
Thank you so much, George. His love for Aix really inspired me - I hope one day to visit!
Grand merci. What a poignant essay.

Thank you so much! I haven’t seen those movies - now, I’ll have to add them to my list!
