Day trip in Aix-La-Chapelle

Aix la Chapelle, Germany is not too far from Brussels by train

There you can visit the cathedral with some tombs

Very very old doors

And an amazing celling, even if my picture is not that good

So high with brights colors

This city was the favorite of Charlemagne, and where many german kings were crowned

Looks like a donjon

Absinthe

This ine is an old restaurant, I really the all wooden style

One of the main square, so sunny that day

and the huge city hall

The city has kept all the old buildings which make s it very interesting to visit

Like the fountain with people playing around

Sunset in Provence, no need for comments!

Lebanese dinner home made

 Lebanese dinner, so delicious!!!

I just love the hummus and the cheese cigars!

Not talking about the meet of course :-)

The cake is more french :-)

Villages in Provence

In Provence, south of France you have a lot of beautiful small villages: Les baux

Lourmarin, where the famous french writer Albert Camus died

This is the country of Lavande, smelling so good, in soap or just like that to put in the clothes

Narrow streets with Ivy

Old doors in wood

And again the Lavande

The famous ocre colors and the green or blue of the windows

Detail of a door
Would like to have one like that one day

Carrière de lumières

Near les Baux de provence there is an attraction called:  Carrière de lumières

It is in caves where they were extracting some stones. Now they project some paintings on the wall with music

This year was Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphäel

Their paintings are projected everywhere, you can walk around or just sit somewhere to enjoy the show

On of my favorite scene was this one

Around you have the amazing landscapes of the Alpilles

This was was an exhibit in the nearby village of the Baux de provence

This is for people taking too long to take a picture :-)

Roussillon, the french colorado

On holidays in the south of France, I have visited Roussillon, the french Colorado

Beautiful colors of Ocre

Changing light the light of the sun

the "terre d'ocre" is exported everywhere in the world

Just amazing, really enjoyed it! But mamammia it was so hot outside!
