Walk in the steps of Cézanne and visit the city as he experienced it… A pedestrian route marked by studs stamped with a “C” allows you to discover the landmarks of his early years (the houses where he lived as a child, his schools, etc), the places that marked him, the addresses of his family and acquaintances, the cafés where he met his friends and other artists… From classical elegance to Baroque opulence, Aix’s architectural heritage is the setting for your walk in the old town and its surroundings.

At the heart of the protected Montaiguet hills, 100m away from the bridge of the Three Sautets painted by Cézanne, with the Sainte-Victoire Mountain as a backdrop, follow the painter’s footprints to reach the Arc River. Behold the landscapes and colors just like the painter experienced them along the hiking trail. Feel intensely the presence of the master, in his human simplicity and finish this journey IVV enjoying the tranquility of the river banks. 83km long, the Arc is a small river that takes its source in the village of Pourcieux (Var) and flows into the Etang de Berre.
