Provence beckons this summer with a thriving art scene
Aix-en-Provence becomes an art lover's paradise this summer with the opening of the exhibition at the Granet museum and various sites of inspiration for Paul Cézanne. We have put together an exciting holiday whereby you can enjoy numerous works by this prodigal, Provençal artist.
Cezanne Exhibition 2025 Aix-en-Provence Holiday
For this exciting single-centre holiday, begin by flying to Marseille airport where you pick up your hire car, and drive 40 minutes to the Château de Fonscolombe. We recommend that you start your stay with a private tasting of the château's wines, subject to flight timing. Dinner reservations at the château are available upon request.
This short break is centred around a special 2025 exhibition on the works of Paul Cézanne. As such, it includes:
- Entrance ticket for self-visit at the Cézanne exhibition
- Private wine-tasting of three house wines from the Chateau de Fonscolombe
Visit the Cézanne exhibition at Jas de Bouffon, his family home and creative sanctuary, showcasing 100 works, including iconic pieces like The Bathers and The Card Players. Stroll through Aix-en-Provence, known for its museums, galleries, and vibrant shops, or explore the nearby Luberon countryside with its picturesque villages, lavender fields, and vineyards.

On the fourth day, you return your hire car at Marseille airport for your flight home, concluding your art-filled Provençal escape.
