Why go
Trace Cézanne's world from a hillside view to studio objects and finally to paintings at the Musée Granet. Begin at the Jardin des Peintres for the Sainte-Victoire outlook and its reproductions, then descend to Atelier des Lauves. Arrange the studio visit before setting out and allow time to reach your chosen slot. Continue downhill into the old town, pausing at the Cézanne portrait on the Fontaine des Bagniers before the museum. This route suits visitors comfortable with hillside walking. Saint-Sauveur Cathedral is an optional architectural break on the descent; omit it to give the paintings more time.
