Mont Sainte-Victoire east of Aix-en-Provence is the limestone mountain that Cezanne painted over 60 times in an obsessive quest to capture its essential form and the Provencal light, its distinctive profile visible from the city and the surrounding vine-covered plain. Walking trails to the summit provide extraordinary views over the Arc Valley and the Sainte-Baume range, while the Jas de Bouffan viewpoints reproduce Cezanne's famous compositional vantages. Hotels in Aix-en-Provence provide the best base for Mont Sainte-Victoire walks and the Cezanne pilgrimage that makes this one of the most artistically resonant landscapes in France.
