Quarry sights in Provence

1. Les Carrières de Bibemus

   • Aix En Provence, France
   • Sights › Quarry

   In 1895 Cézanne rented a cabanon (cabin) at Les Carrières de Bibemus, on the edge of town, where he painted prolifically. Atmospheric one-hour tours of the ochre quarry take visitors on foot through the dramatic burnt-orange rocks Cézanne captured so vividly on canvas. Book tours in advance at the tourist office, wear sturdy shoes and avoid wearing white.
