An area of outstanding cultural interest, with its sites of historic and religious interest, its museums, parks, gardens, its fortified towns, hilltop villages and castles; this diverse region has attracted artists from the XIX th century and onwards. Provence is also loved for its fantastic art of living, its gastronomy and restaurants, its vineyards and its traditions which are still very much alive. The year of 2006 will bring Provence and more specifically the city of Aix-en-Provence to the center of attention with a celebration of one of France’s Master painters: Paul Cézanne. To mark the occasion of the centenary of the death of Paul Cézanne (1839 – 1906), the year 2006 will be dedicated to the most famous artist of Aix-en-Provence. The city of Aix-en-Provence and Aix's Regional Community are organizing a series of highlights, which will demonstrate and celebrate Aix's rich art history. The international exhibition "Cézanne in Provence" will find its home at the newly renovated Granet Museum in Aix-en-Provence from the 9th of June until the 17th of September, 2006. In addition to this once in a lifetime exhibit, a multitude of events will paint the city in Cézanne's colors and commemorate his intimate relationship with the landscapes and light of Provence: improved display at Cézanne sites, exhibitions, presentations by contemporary artists, illuminations, open-air projections, and street art shows. Among the top Cezanne sites to visit are Cézanne's studio and the district of "Jas de Bouffon". Located in the upper reaches of the city of Aix-en-Provence, Cézanne's studio has preserved the memory of the painter with a display of original objects reappearing in many of Cézanne's still-life paintings, some watercolors and original drawings; www.atelier-cezanne.com . Additionally Cézanne's family home at "Jas de Bouffon" will for the first time be open to the public, so that the visitors can experience first hand where Cézanne spent 40 years of his life; and admire the lush grounds and beautiful 17th century Provence style country home. It is not difficult to understand why so many artists felt compelled to emulate the power and beauty of the provençal landscapes that are adorned by the intensity of the sunlight and radiant blend of colors. Experience the wonders of Provence first hand with an itinerary rich in art history that the Regional Tourist Board has detailed in our brochure, “Provence: Artists and Landscapes.” This suggested route will take you through alternating coastlines, hills and mountains or you can create your own vacation route based on the information provided inside the brochure.
