I will post for this meme a passage from a book
presented on France Book Tours
***

Click on the book cover to know more about the book

“The trips around the country without spouses in tow continued. Jeanne-Marie and Grayson dropped the teenagers in Aix with enough money for lunch or ice cream before setting off to explore the cliff villages or to Grasse for the parfumerie or to Monaco to try their luck at the casinos.
When I had time, usually in the evenings after Chantal had left, I wondered what happened to my family. What happened to my plans to gather everyone close, to share the beauty of a new country together?”

Almost wordless:
A statue at the corner of a street in Aix-en-Provence.

And be sure to follow the upcoming tour of
Taking Root in Provence, by Anne-Marie Simons,
you may understand why there are so many corners in Aix
with a statue of the Virgin Mary.
NB: the answer is in her book!
