Contributor blog post by Aixcentric:

A major expansion of the Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) has been announced with British architect Norman Foster winning the design contract. Airports are in keen competition with each other and Marseille Provence wants to be able to welcome 11 million passengers a year by 2025.

Foster and his partners will be working on providing a ‘coeur’, or central structure of 20,000 square metres, 23 metres high and filled  with light.

…Continue reading here for details on this massive expansion and overhaul of the Marseille Provence Airport. The Marseille region is competing with Nice, Lyon and other mid-size airports for North American, European and Asian flights.  The estimated budget for this project is 250Million Euros and will allow the airport to serve upwards of 12 million passengers per year.

Aixcentric was set up by Lynne Alderson three years ago as a channel to send out info on events taking place around Aix as well as news, relevant books, the latest films, new shops and of course where to eat locally. Why?

According, to Lynne:

"It came about out of frustration with the lack of communication in the town. Posters would suddenly go up about an event that week. No prewarning. I had difficulty too in finding information from many of the tourist offices. Things are slowly getting better and there is sometimes information in English. Hopefully by keeping an eagle eye on the local press and talking with contacts in town, I can publicize fun things that people would otherwise miss. It's a ragbag of info that I come across on my travels. I've published nearly 600 posts now and have lots of followers so hopefully it is fulfilling its role of helping people, residents and visitors alike, get the most of their time in Aix."
