All summer long the terrace of my favourite cafe in Aix-en-Provence has been packed out with tourists.
Les Deux Garcons was also frequented by the painter whose work they came to Aix to see. An exhibition assembling about 120 paintings from all over the world has been running all summer, after having been on in Washington last spring.
Almost 400,000 visitors have been through the doors of the museum to gape at this astonishing array of pictures and the local shopkeepers have been laughing all the way to the bank.
