IN CÉZANNE’S
COUNTRY
IN THE HEART
OF AIX-EN-PROVENCE
The town is home to several precious historical sites which
embody the mysteries surrounding Cézanne. For today’s
visitor, forays into this emblematic painter’s universe include
discovering his family’s Jas de Bouffan country house, visiting
atelier de Cézanne on the old Lauves hill or exploring the
open air carrières de Bibémus.
Paul Cézanne was born in Rue de l’Opéra
Walk in Cézanne’s footsteps and visit the city as he expe-
in 1839 and died in Rue Boulegon in 1906.
rienced 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.
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
turn to page 16
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,
painting… ”the father of us all!” Picasso said.

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.

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 between 1859 and 1899. The orangerie was restored in 2013 and the
restoration of the house will follow.

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 quarries 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 appearance of the Bibémus quarries can be seen as you follow a route
around the hut where the artist kept his paintings, and sometimes slept.

Ten of Cézanne’s oil-paintings are owned by this
museum which is considered as one of the finest
in France, displayed together in a dedicated room.
A group of watercolours and drawings is also put on
public display every three years to better conserve
them. 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 collection 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 Dubuffet and Peaches on a Dish of the
17th-century French school, and these compositions
are often found in his still lifes.

OF CÉZANNE
1 STATUE DE CÉZANNE • Next to the Tourist Office.
Bronze by Gabriel Sterk, donated to the city in 2006 by the
Aix-en-Œuvres association.
2 SOCIÉTÉ DES AMIS DES ARTS • 2 bis, avenue Victor
Hugo. Founded in 1894, the company moved into these
premises, a former garage, in 1895. Cézanne exhibited paintings there on three occasions: 1895: The Arc Valley and
landscape (study). 1902: Meadow at Jas de Bouffan, Near
Aix and Still Life. 1906: Château du Diable otherwise known
as Château Noir on the Tholonet road.
3 COLLÈGE MIGNET • 41, rue Cardinale (formerly collège
Bourbon). Cézanne was a pupil here from 1852 (first year of
secondary school) to 1858. After failing the first session of
the arts baccalaureate on 4 August 1858, Cézanne passed it
with 60-70% on 12 November 1858. This is where he became
friends with the writer Émile Zola, the scientist Jean-Baptistin
Baille and Louis Marguery.
4 DOMICILE DE MARIE CÉZANNE • 8, rue Frédéric Mistral
(formerly rue de la Monnaie). Marie, the artist’s sister, lived
here in 1897 (letter from Cézanne to Solari dated 30 January 1897).
18 |
5 DOMICILE D’HORTENSE ET DE PAUL CÉZANNE FILS
• 9, rue Frédéric Mistral. On 12 February 1891, after their
