Le Tholonet, at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire
Le Tholonet is half an hour from the airport, for €56 in Eco. The village estates host many weddings and events: a private driver lets guests arrive without a car and leave without driving.
For a hike, the driver drops you at the trailhead in the morning and comes back in the evening.
In Cézanne’s footsteps
The road through Le Tholonet, known as the Route Cézanne, is the one the painter took to paint the Sainte-Victoire. Château Noir, where he had a studio, and the Tholonet mill line the way. On foot you reach the Zola dam, designed by Émile Zola’s father, then Lake Bimont. In spring the meadows fill with poppies, the favourite season of amateur painters and photographers chasing the low evening light on the limestone.
