The "Café Clément"

44, Cours Mirabeau (Ground floor of the Gassendi hotel)
In 1901, Léo Larguien and Cézanne met there: "We used to go from time to time, in the summer, and sit on the terrace of the Clément café, which at the time was the big café of Aix, frequented by the likes of officers, rich students and the elegant people of the town who weren't afraid to slum it and be seen at this small establishment... Paul Cézanne seemed happy enough to be there and when he suggested going for a drink, he always used te say: -"Let's go to the CIém Caf"... People would come in and out of the café, but I never once saw anyone greeting the painter. Nobody seemed to know him.
