St. Victoire, near Aix en Provence
A symbol of Provence like Mount Ventoux and the Sainte Baume massif, the major landmark of the Aix area, and a favourite motif of Cézanne, Mont Sainte-Victoire reaches an altitude of 1011 m at Pic des Mouches (Peak of the Flies).
Despite a fire in 1989, Sainte-Victoire is still a very popular place for walking and climbing. There are several routes to a 17th century priory (a place of pilgrimage) and to the cross of Provence, from where there is a magnificent panoramic view of Provence’s mountains and the rolling plains of the Aix area. There is a road around the mountain with superb viewpoints overlooking Mount Sainte-Victoire.
It’s worth a visit! A wonderful art/masterpiece created 100% by nature.
