All,
Escaping from what I thought It would have been a awful summer I went to the South of France for a week. I wanted to discovered the place where so many artist like Matisse, Picasso, Gauguin, Van Gogh and many more have worked and have lived.
I stayed in a little village called "Maussane Les Alpines", close to the town of "Arles" and not too far from "Avignon". As I am not driving and the transports were not very convenient I did visit a few places but not as many as I would have loved.
"Les Baux de Provence", is a small village with a castle in ruins, which was 4 miles from were I was staying, so I walked. And by chance I discovered this place called "Carrier de Lumieres". A former quarry with art-based multimedia shows, projecting images of famous painting set to music. It blowed my mind away, so delicately done, so moving. Every year the shows are different. Totally recommended place to visit.
Todos,
Como me esperaba un verano desastroso aquí en Londres, me escape al sur de Francia, pues quería visitar el lugar donde vivieron y trabajaron algunos de mis artistas favoritos, como Matisse, Picasso, Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh entre otros muchos.
Me quede en un pueblecito llamado "Maussane Les Alpines", cerca de la ciudad de Arles y no muy lejos de "Aviñon". Como no tengo carnet de conducir estuve bastante restringido a la hora de visitar lugares y no pude ver tanto como me hubiera gustado.
"Les Baux de Provence", es un pueblo pequeño con un castillo en ruinas y unas vistas de impresión, y como estaba cerca pues fui andando. Por casualidad descubri un sitio llamado "Carrier de Lumieres". Una ex-cantera donde se proyectan espectáculos de arte con música en sus paredes. Me sorprendió muchísimo y me emociono. Cada año el espectáculo es diferente y merece la pena.
