Bastide du Jas de Bouffan

The Cézanne family home for four decades (1859-1899), it was here that Paul Cézanne laid the foundations for his illustrious painting career. After painting 12 large-scale works directly onto the walls of the ground-floor salon, he used the surrounding landscape as inspiration for 36 oil paintings and 17 watercolors.


Note: As we went to press the home was closed for renovations. Check before heading over.
