Curious Aix-en-Provence & Arles

Season 6 Episode 604 | 28m 58s

Christine gets curious about Aix-en Provence: why it’s known as the City of a Thousand Fountains, visits Cézanne’s Atelier & a mansion in the historic Mazarin District, then learns the curious connection between a king & the calisson. In Arles, she visits the exact spots where van Gogh painted, then Arles’ Roman Arena, and learns what a 'vomitorium' was (not as gross as you think).

Aired: 10/14/23 | Expires: 01/03/24
