Atelier Cézanne

With its unique light and landscapes, Provence has often inspired artists and writers. Émile Zola, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne and many others forged an enduring image of this sun-drenched land. Some of their works can be discovered close to your hotel.

Bastide du Jas de Bouffan: in the footsteps of Cézanne

An intimate refuge and family home, the Bastide du Jas de Bouffan was Paul Cézanne's very first studio. It was within its walls that the painter laid the foundations of his work, nourished by the surrounding landscapes.

The true cradle of his inspiration, the estate gave rise to 36 oil paintings and 17 watercolours. Wandering the paths of its 5-hectare park, you rediscover the master's gaze, contemplating the same trees and the same horizons.

It was here that he painted The Card Players, one of his most iconic canvases.

Bibémus Quarries

Between Aix-en-Provence and the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, the Bibémus quarries long supplied the emblematic ochre-yellow stone that adorns the façades of the Town Hall and the private mansions of the Mazarin quarter.

It was also in this inspiring place, steeped in history, that Paul Cézanne painted 27 canvases, capturing the ruggedness of the terrain, the warmth of the stones, the blue of the sky and the green of the maritime pines. Here he painted some of his most famous works, such as The Bibémus Quarry and Mont Sainte-Victoire Seen from Bibémus.
