To discover Cezanne’s landscapes, 5 paths leave
from the town centre, marked out by studs. They will lead you to the
Tholonet, the Jas de Bouffan
house, the Bibemus quarries, the banks of the river Arc, the Trois-Sautets
bridge, the Master’s Workshop on the Lauves hill, and take you
close to the
chemin de la Marguerite, where he painted his last pictures of Sainte-Victoire.
15 sign posts, identified
by the "self-portrait
of Cézanne
with bowler hat",
punctuate this pictorial route along the paths trodden by the painter
as
he searched for his main "motifs" of the Aix countryside.
On
the map, each path has a different colour:
