le journal >luh szchoorhnal< The "Herald Tribune" is on sale at most news-stands ; more discreetly, the Times, Telegraph and Daily Mail lurk in the background, waiting to be requested. Thinking French people tend to read Le Monde and the "bien pensants" (right thinking) read Le Figaro. La Provence, the local "daily", devotes a section to Aix-en-Provence, with coverage of local news and events, concerts, theatre etc.

The Bibliothèque Méjanes >beeblee-ohtehk mehszchann< now housed in the Cité du Livre, on the site of the allumetterie, one of Aix’s claims to industrial production (matches !) Converted into a modern multimedia mediathèque, "Book City" combines the eighty thousand books bequeathed by the Marquis de Méjanes with twentieth century collections of books, videos, film, etc.
