Keep Discovering Aix

We continue our adventures in Aix… On Thursday afternoon, we visited a contemporary art exhibition at the Pavillon Vandôme, a baroque building with its jardin à la française. That evening, we had the chance to dance traditional french dances called baleti in the public plaza. The musicians stood in the middle, playing violin, accordion, and trumpet. They taught us a few steps, and once everybody got the rhythm, they entered in the farandole. Tonight was movie night; some went to see The Congress, a colorful philosophical tale, and others saw The Quatuor, a touching story. For dinner, we all prepared tacos and ate together in the cafeteria with Mexican music and a salsa dance class taught by Jen! Looking forward to tomorrow: We are going kayaking! -Nina Lopez
