Saint Victoire mountain, a hiking Mecca
Emblematic of the surrounding countryside of Aix-en-Provence, Sainte Victoire mountain is one of the 4 first sites in France (with l’aven d’Orgnac, the Pointe du raz and the Gard bridge ) that received, in june 2004, the “Grand site de France” label , created by the ministry of ecology and sustainable development.
It reached international fame thanks to the about sixty works of painter Paul Cézanne in which the mountain is the main focus. A paradise for the walkers, climbers and lovers of the nature, it is a major element in the Aixois landscape.
