The Landscape of Aix-en-Provence
Aix-en-Provence captivates visitors with its stunning landscapes, from the dramatic white limestone cliffs of Montagne Sainte-Victoire to lush valleys dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and orchards. This picturesque scenery was immortalized by Paul Cézanne, the father of modern painting, in many of his masterpieces.
Discover the places that shaped Cézanne’s life and art as you stroll through the city that inspired him. From the Statue of Paul Cézanne to the Lycée Mignet, where he studied, and the Passage Agard, home to his father’s hat shop, Aix-en-Provence offers a deep dive into the artist’s world. Visit the Église de la Madeleine, where he was baptized, and walk past Rue Bougelon, where he spent his final days. On the Place de l’Hôtel de Ville, admire the very fountain that Cézanne once painted.
The Wines of AOP Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire
Beyond its artistic legacy, the Sainte-Victoire region is also renowned for its prestigious vineyards, producing some of the most refined Rosés, along with remarkable Red and White wines. The AOP Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire unites dedicated winemakers who craft exceptional wines from Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Cabernet Sauvignon but also Mourvèdre and Carignan. These wines evolve beautifully over time, developing layers of aromatic complexity and depth.
The Rosés, produced using a delicate cold maceration process, are elegant, crisp, and fruit-forward, making them the perfect match for the sun-kissed cuisine of Provence. The region’s Whites—featuring Rolle, Clairette, Sémillon, and Ugni Blanc—are vibrant, fresh, and exquisitely balanced, reflecting the unique terroir of Sainte-Victoire.

The Landscape of Aix-en-Provence
Provence in the South of France is considered as the most beautiful place in France, and it stretches all the way from Arles and Avignon to Monaco, anchored by the Mediterranean sea. The region’s natural beauty, its warm climate, picturesque Medieval villages, traditional open markets, colors, aromas, olive oil, sun flowers, lavender fields and of course its wines make Provence an irresistible destination to both the French and to visitors.
What gives Provence its distinctive character and unique wines is, among other things, its particularly diverse landscape swept by the Mistral wind and its warm dry and sunny weather. Provence is more and more popular and recognized for its wines, especially about its rosé wines (some of the World’s best rosés) but it also produces some remarkable strong and full-bodied red wines which can age several years in barrels, as well as tender delicate and airy whites.
