Cours Mirabeau
$22.00
A long, shaded avenue laid out in the 1650s on the site of the old ramparts. Four fountains run down the middle. Plane trees meet overhead. The north side keeps the sun; that's where the cafés are. Les Deux Garçons is on this side. Cézanne sat there, Zola sat there, the same terrace, the same shade. The south side is shadier and holds the eighteenth-century townhouses. The Fontaine Moussue, midway along, is warm to the touch, fed by the same thermal spring the Romans tapped when they founded the city. A walk end to end takes about ten minutes if you don't stop, an afternoon if you do.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
