Lijiang, Provence

Aix, the former capital of Provence, is a medieval city with boulevards, fountains and mansions. The mottled exterior walls and stone roads everywhere tell the history of the ancient city all the time. The city is not big, and our hotel is on the edge of the old city. Turn right when you go out and cross the road to the old city. The ancient city has a small area and narrow streets, but it is quite distinctive, with shops on both sides.

It may be influenced by the Mediterranean. The temperature in Aix in winter is not low, and the sun shines on people, which makes people feel very tired. Local people certainly know how to enjoy the gift of nature, or a cup of coffee and a newspaper, or travel in groups. Anyway, such time is used to "idle away", otherwise wasting such a good sun will be suspected of "wasting things"

Aix has the reputation of "the capital of thousands of springs", and many fountains were built as early as 12 century. It is said that AIX means spring in ancient Latin. Some people say that the water in Aix is the best in France. Whether it is worthy of the name is unknown, but when walking in the street, fountains of all sizes can be seen everywhere. All fountains have sculptures of different shapes. It is said that they are all made of white stone, a local specialty, and no two fountains are exactly the same. Aix Springs has a very famous reputation, but it is unassuming, quietly scattered all over the city, quiet but full of rich cultural atmosphere. No wonder so many artists have settled here for centuries, including the famous impressionist painter Cezanne.

Aix is Cezanne's hometown, born and raised in Sri Lanka, and died in Sri Lanka. It can be seen that the town is full of pride in owning Cezanne, and the traces of Cezanne are everywhere. There are fountains, hotels, restaurants and cafes named after Cezanne. You can even see bronze nails engraved with Cezanne's name on the road at any time. Along the bronze nails, you can reach many places where Cezanne lived, such as the apartment where Cezanne was born, the church where Cezanne was baptized, the university where Cezanne studied law, the exhibition hall where Cezanne held art exhibitions, the last residence of Cezanne, and even the hat shop of Cezanne's father and the apartment of Cezanne's son. Although there is only one brand left in many places, it clearly says from which year to which year and what Cezanne did here. I can't help but be moved by the historical protection consciousness of the ancient city people.

It is impossible to see all these monuments, but Cezanne's studio can't help but go. The studio is located on the hillside outside the ancient city. From the outside, it looks unremarkable. Pushing open the small door, it is a yard. A two-story building was built on the mountain, and the studio was on the second floor. The studio is not big. It is said that the studio has basically maintained its original appearance. There are easels, work clothes and some bottles and jars on display in the room. The staff said that many of Cezanne's paintings were completed in this studio, and the props in front of him can completely correspond to the still life in Cezanne's oil paintings. Suddenly there is a feeling that time and space are intertwined, just like 100 years ago, Cezanne was seen in this room, creating famous paintings handed down from generation to generation on the easel in front of us.

Out of the studio, I walked for 20 minutes and returned to the ancient city. There is a cafe in the ancient city, which is said to have been frequented by Cezanne in those days, and Cezanne once painted it. In order to attract business, the boss also specially posted a copy of the painting at the door. Go ahead and look carefully. Sure enough, it is here, the same scene, the same tables and chairs, and even the sunshine is the same. Just looking at the coffee shop in front of me and then at the coffee shop in the painting, I feel that the real coffee shop is worse than the loss, and it seems that there is less texture, but the coffee shop in the painting seems to have life and is whispering something.

Suddenly I thought of Lijiang and saw that the two ancient cities were quite similar. There is no Cezanne in Lijiang and no ancient music in Aix. However, both cities have rich historical background and calm sunshine. They are all cities that exist for life. Everyone likes the ancient city, because there, people can find a relaxed, relaxed, comfortable and cozy place.
