Balade Cezanne, de la pinède aux carrière de Bibémus
Experience Provence as a living painting! From the Parc de Roques Hautes to the Bibémus plateau, let yourself be captivated by a vibrant spectacle: the fiery ochre of the earth, the deep green of the pines, and the azure blue of the sky.
These landscapes, immortalized by Paul Cezanne, are just waiting for you to reveal their magic.
Walk the paths trodden by the father of modern art, be inspired by the Sainte-Victoire mountain, and feel "its geological power and rocky energy," as Cezanne described it.
Once on the plateau, you will do a quick passage at the Bibémus quarries, a true gem where plant life meets minerals.
In addition to evoking Cézanne, the hike will be enriched with historical anecdotes and an insight into the geological world and ecosystem of the Sainte-Victoire Mountain, the iconic mountain of Provence.
