Aix and Cézanne

In Aix, France, we followed the footsteps of Paul Cézanne, a native of that town, whose art was not much appreciated by its citizens during his lifetime. The Musée Granet has only a few small works by this renowned artist, though the rest of the collection is worth a visit.

Several years ago we saw the places where he was born, studied, married and died and also visited his atelier. From everywhere, we could see Sainte-Victoire, the stark mountain that dominates the landscape and so much of Cézanne’s work.

A highlight of our visit was the Cathedrale of St.-Sauveur, which encompasses many styles and periods. Aix also has many good restaurants.
