The Atelier de Cezanne on the hill above Aix-en-Provence preserves exactly the north-facing studio where Paul Cezanne worked from 1902 until his death in 1906, with his painting equipment, objects from his still life arrangements, and personal belongings arranged as they were when he last left the room. The studio is a place of remarkable artistic pilgrimage and the Cezanne trail connecting his various Aix locations — his birthplace, the Jas de Bouffan estate, and his favourite views of Mont Sainte-Victoire — makes Aix the finest single artist pilgrimage in France. Hotels in Aix-en-Provence are within 15 minutes walk of the atelier.
