In the steps of Cézanne

IN THE STEPSOF CÉZANNE

Paul Cézanne was born in Rue de l’Opéra in 1839 and died in Rue Boulegon in 1906.

He was passionately attached to Aix and Provence, and summed his love up in a

single sentence when he was away: “When you’re born there, it’s hopeless, nothing

else is good enough». It was while walking in the Aix countryside as a teenager with

Émile Zola that he realised he was an artist. The particular light of Provence guided

him on his creative path to the threshold of abstraction. And it is in Aix-en-Provence

and the surrounding area that you can share Cézanne’s experience intensely today,

as you visit the streets, places and landscapes that marked the life, the outlook and

the work of the father of modern painting… «the father of us all!» Picasso said.

IN CÉZANNE’S COUNTRY

IN THE HEARTOF AIX-EN-PROVENCE

FROM AIX-EN-PROVENCETO THE MEDITERRANEAN

Walk in Cézanne’s footsteps and visit the city as he experienced it…

A pedestrian route marked by studs stamped with a “C” leads you

from the house where the painter was born to his final resting place

in Saint-Pierre cemetery. 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. see route overleaf

To the east, discover the Sainte-Victoire mountain by the Cézanne

Road: 75 km around the massif, leaving from Le Tholonet, with stops

at the Trois Sautets bridge (Meyreuil) and La Barque (Fuveau), other

motifs of the painter. Magnificent panoramas of the mountain from

Beaurecueil and Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon.

15 km to the south is Gardanne: Cézanne stayed there between 1885

and 1886. On the Frères hill a path has been laid, dotted with repro-

ductions of the paintings, showing the development of Cézanne’s

structural design. An open-air museum has been created at the spot

where the artist worked. Beautiful view of the Sainte-Victoire from

the path to the chapel of Notre-Dame-des-Maures.

30 km to the south is L’Estaque, where Cézanne worked and lived

intermittently between 1864 and 1885. Here you will find some of

his other sources of inspiration. From the «painters’ path» you can

see the bay of Marseille, also immortalised by other artists, notably

Braque, Derain and Dufy.

She is disabled; he takes her out in the car, and to enjoy the sunshine at Le Jas. She is as slim and slight as a child, and he carries her himself, in his arms which are still strong, from the car to her chair.

Listed as historical monuments, the Jas de Bouffan house and its

grounds are open for guided tours to see what the family property

was for Cézanne: a place to live, an anchor point, the stage for his first

paintings and an artist’s studio.

On the ground floor, young Cézanne painted 12 murals. He also

set up his easel in the grounds, in front of the house, the farm, the

copses and the avenue of chestnut trees, the pond and its statues…

In all, 36 oil paintings and 17 water-colours were painted here bet-

ween 1859 and 1899. The orangerie was restored in 2013 and the

restoration of the house will follow.

IN THE HOUSE WHERE IT ALL STARTED

LA BASTIDE DU JAS DE BOUFFAN17, route de Galice - 45 minutes visit

It is here, on the Lauves hill, among the objects he

treasured, the models of his last still lifes, his furniture and

his work tools, that you will feel the painter’s presence

most intensely. From 1902 until his death in 1906,

Cézanne worked every morning in this studio of light

and silence, the birthplace of dozens of paintings that

are now owned by the world’s great museums, including

the last series of Large Bathers. The studio has a shop

selling books and souvenirs, regularly hosts temporary

exhibitions and holds cultural events in season.

Ten of Cézanne’s oil-paintings are owned by this

museum which is considered as one of the finest in

France, as well as a set of water-colours and drawings

which are exhibited every three years to ensure their

conservation.

Cézanne studied drawing in this building from 1857 to

1862: the former priory of the Order of Malta housed

a free school, set up by the City of Aix after its collec-

tion of art works was installed there in 1828. Many of

these works were used for educational purposes: as

a student, Cézanne copied paintings such as Frillié’s

Kiss of the Muse, The Prisoner of Chillon by Edouard

Dubuffe and Peaches on a Dish of the 17th-century

French school, and these compositions are often found

in his still lifes.

INSIDE THE WORK OF CÉZANNE

LE MUSÉE GRANET Place Saint-Jean de Malte

This is where Cubism took its first steps, on this rocky plateau of

7 hectares, which was worked as a stone quarry for the monuments

of Aix until the 18th century. When Cézanne discovered the quar-

ries they were abandoned and overgrown with vegetation, but the

ochre-coloured rock had retained the shapes formed by the work of

man. Between 1895 and 1904 Cézanne produced paintings of this

extraordinary architecture, this outstanding work of nature, such as

The Red Rock, which are now world-famous.

Now in the heart of the Grand Site Sainte-Victoire, the majestic ap-

pearance of the Bibémus quarries can be seen as you follow a route

around the hut where the artist kept his paintings, and sometimes slept.

A LIFE-SIZE PAINTING

LE TERRAIN DES PEINTRESThe queen of his childhood landscapes, and the

obsession of his life as an artist, the Sainte-Victoire

mountain dominates the painter’s work: 44 oil pain-

tings and 43 water-colours of it are conserved in the

world’s great museums and in private collections.

The most famous pictures were painted from this

marvellous vantage point on Chemin de la Marguerite

on the Lauves hill. The city of Aix-en-Provence has

created the Painters’ Ground here: facing the moun-

tain, nine reproductions on lava stone of Cézanne’s

finest «Sainte-Victoire» invite you to contemplation…

Chemin de la Marguerite, north of Atelier de Cézanne

Designed by internationally famous contemporary

artist Jean-Michel Othoniel, La Rose des Vents is a

monumental mobile sculpture 5.70m high. With its

steel base and beads of gold-coloured stainless steel,

it stands on the Belvedere of the Beisson estate, which

is close to Cézanne’s studio and offers spectacular

views over the city and Sainte-Victoire mountain.
