Hey, you lookin' at me?!
.
We got a perfect shot of this beauty in Saint Rémy de Provence this past Monday. We were there to experience the amazing town festival celebrating transhumance which is the practice of moving livestock from pasture to pasture. We watched as thousands of sheep paraded through town to the delight of children and adults alike.
.
Have you ever experienced a similar festival elsewhere in the world?

Just another day in Provence ... let's move some sheep through town.
.
You could spend your entire life in the south of France and you would not run out of things to do. This past Monday we visited the town of Saint Rémy de Provence for a very special town festival. Thousands of sheep were being moved through town to celebrate the ancient practice of transhumance (moving of livestock to new pastures). I don't think I have to tell you that this festival will delight everyone. It's quite possible that we grown-ups were at times more enthusiastic than the kids.

Why should you visit Aix-en-Provence
.
The reasons are many. Not only is this once capital of Provence a beautiful little city, it's almost impossible to get bored here. There is always something going on. Sometimes it's difficult to choose what to do. For example, this weekend, the biggest event in town is a festival called C'est Sud. It's all about music and there are many performances to choose from. Most of it it's happening right on the main drag of town called Cours Mirabeau pictured here with the statue of King René.

I'm so proud to be this little traveller's mama!

This little guy makes me so happy and proud every day. I love his amazingly upbeat personality. If there was ever anyone out there who mostly saw the bright side to everything, then he's living in my house.

Kas, I love you too the moon and back!

Every first Sunday of the month is free museum day in France. So yesterday we decided to visit several museums in our neighborhood. We saw some modern art - paintings, sculptures and photography. But we also saw some art from previous centuries. And we saw some specimens from nearby archaeological digs. But our favourite museum was one that focused on the history of the town.
.
Are there free museum days where you live?

Did you know the first Sunday of each month is "free museum day" in France?
.
A lot of museums are free of charge on the first Sunday of the month. So today we decided to visit a bunch of museums in our town of Aix-en-Provence. Kas had the idea of doing that. It's an extra long weekend in France this weekend (four days!). We had planned to stay home every other day and do a day trip in between. So we were supposed to do two day trips this weekend but we ended having only one. Kas said: "Why don't we just stay in Aix and sightsee our town on Sunday?" And we're glad we did. We discovered some new cool things about Aix and got ideas for future sightseeing around town.

Look at these thirsty camels having a sip from a fountain in Aix-en-Provence . Yep, this is not northern Africa or the Middle East. This is right smack in the Old Town of Aix. Why are they here? They're part of the Epiphany Parade that usually happens in the first half of January. And it's one of our favourite street events in Provence.
