Montagne Sainte Victoire

This pyramidal peak features in over 60 of Paul Cezannes paintings. The light and the colours are a dream for artists, and non-artists can also enjoy the scenery via the lattice of walking trails that cross the mountain slopes.

This austere castle has a rich Provencal history but it is perhaps best well known for being the burial ground of Pablo Picasso. He bought the chateau in 1958 when he found out that the area had been much loved by Paul Cezanne. He stayed there between 1959 and 1961 and the castle still holds some of his personal belongings.
