Capital of Provence in the 15th Century, Aix still shines today through its dynamism and its cultural heritage. Aix is a spa town with bourgeois residences and a hundred fountains, immortalized by Paul Cézanne and his Sainte-Victoire. It seems to be the archetype of the romantic city, attracting many students from all over the world, lovers of Lyric Art, epicureans, hikers and others.
The City of Aix-en-Provence wishes to make 2025 a year dedicated to Paul Cezanne around an ambitious cultural and artistic season. As such, cultural proposals (exhibitions, festivals, invitations to artists) will see the light of day throughout the Aix region.
From June 28 to October 12, 2025, an exceptional international exhibition at the Granet Museum will highlight 100 works by Cezanne, oils, watercolor drawings from major international museums and private collections.
In addition, the Jas de Bouffan family home currently undergoing a metamorphosis in which Cezanne flourished artistically will also be gradually opened to the public from summer 2025.
Another emblematic site of the artist can be visited: the Lauves workshop, offering visitors a new experience to discover the works created during the last four years of his life.
Finally, the Bibémus quarries, rocky plateaus and a true treasure of Aix heritage, have been redeveloped by the City with new paths and new Cézanne motifs highlighted. The quarries may be used for one-off cultural events.
