Just Another Saturday...

Yesterday, our group spent the day in the beautiful French ville of Aix en Provence. Two hours north of Cannes, this beautiful city contains one of the most brilliant artisan markets we have ever seen and was once home & inspiration to post-impressionist artist Paul Cezanne.


That night we enjoyed a show at the Palais in Cannes. Expecting a traditional ballet we were pleasantly surprised by the spectacular show put on by the Ballet de Rua - a group of male dancers from Brazil.
Blending hip hop, salsa, capoeira and traditional dances, the company aims to highlight the good and bad times of Brazil’s history. ‘Our show is a celebration of life, joy and love, a celebration of our culture – we want to show the power of the Brazilian people.’
