Carrières de Bibemus

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:08:12

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.
