Cabries |
Cabries is a typical Provencal village, perched on a rocky outcrop between
Aix and Marseilles. You will discover
delightful medieval streets which wind amongst the ancient houses, adding
to the village's charm.
The "château de Cabries" dates from the 9th century, alhtough it was
restored and rebuilt in the 18th century. Well-known painter Edgar Mélik
bought the chateau in 1934. Today it houses the "Musée Mélik" where
impressive exhibitions can be seen, including works by Picasso, Dali
and César. While walking in the streets of Cabries, you will discover the marvellous architecture of the region... beautiful old houses line the shady squares, colourful shutters faded by the sun, old wooden doors, stone-walls bleached from the sun... and small cats stretched out in the heat. In summer visitors are invited to enjoy the Provencal cuisine... there's no question of escaping the famous "daube provençale" or the delicious "pieds et paquets", without forgetting the mouth-watering "aïoli"... everything is washed down with an excellent local rosé... ambience guaranteed ! |
