The sounds that summer is nearly over are school bells and construction noise as crews return from holidays. And the number of organized bike tour groups on the roads. La rentrée marks the official end of summer holidays for school kids. After an August rain, mushrooms often appear in the forests, and you may even spot some fungi foragers who know where to look. Wool sweaters are back in the markets, but the espadrilles are gone until next season.
Here are a few things to do this September:
Until September 24th, the Rencontres d'Arles photo exhibit "A State of Consciousness" continues at venues in Arles.
The 40th edition of the Journées du Patrimoine takes place on September 16 and 17 throughout France, with some 44,000 national monuments open to the public. This year's theme – Living Heritage and Sport Heritage - is an opportunity to explore those public and private spaces that form part of the nation's history. Regardless of where you are in the country, take advantage of free access and
guided visits (note: booking is often required). Weather permitting, explore a private garden; many open only a few times a year.
Discover La Roseraie de Gérenton, a magnificent rose garden. In the off-season, the nursery is open, and they offer workshops on pruning rose bushes in the autumn.
If you are near Les Baux de Provence, stop at the Yves Brayer Museum for the current exhibition of 50 photographs by Robert Doisneau. Thanks to Lynne at Aixcentric for the details.
