An arty stroll in the gardens of Aix-en-Provence, on the 16th and 17th of June 2018

Under the patronage of the Minister of Culture and Communication and actress Andréa Ferréol, the private gardens of the Provencale capital will be in the spotlight during an entire weekend. After the success of its first editions that welcomed up to 135 000 visitors, 2018 should also be an excellent year with 11 artists of international fame presenting new works.
