Art near Hôtel Les Quatre Dauphins



From the hotel les quatre Dauphins, you can easily explore the historic heart of Aix-en-Provence, discovering the two not-to-be-missed museums just 100 meters from the hotel: The Hôtel de Caumont, an 18th-century private mansion, has been restored as an art center, with temporary exhibitions dedicated to the great names in art, and a new film dedicated to Cézanne au Pays de l'Art shown continuously. In fine weather, enjoy a gourmet break on the tree-shaded terrace of Café Caumont.

On your artistic itinerary, don't miss the Musée Granet, one of the region's most important museums, with the "Musée de France" label, which displays 750 works offering a vast panorama of artistic creation and organizes exhibitions of international stature.

The Hôtel de Gallifet also boasts an art center where permanent and temporary exhibitions take place, as well as a restaurant serving fresh, refined home cooking.

Immerse yourself in the work of Paul Cézanne at the Atelier Cézanne, located on the hill of Les Lauves, and feel the painter's presence through the objects that were dear to him (access by bus number 5 from boulevard du Roi René).

Tourism



On your sightseeing itinerary, don't miss out on a stroll through the typical towns of the south: Cassis, a small Mediterranean port with its splendid calanques, Bandol, the pearl of the coastline, one of the oldest seaside resorts on the coast. A symbol of Provence and a source of inspiration for budding Cézanne artists, the Sainte-Victoire massif to the east of Aix-en-Provence offers numerous hiking trails for nature lovers.



Explore as far as Avignon, city of the Popes, Arles and its amphitheatre, and Nîmes and its arena. Perched or backed by the Luberon and Monts du Vaucluse massifs, with their backdrops of olive groves, vineyards, orchards and Mediterranean forests, the villages of the Luberon will enchant you with their charm, inviting you to stroll through their narrow streets.

Enjoy an intense sensory experience when you visit the lavender fields of Valensole, which stretch as far as the eye can see and dazzle you with their sumptuous violet color, while providing a dizzying olfactory sensation. The best time to enjoy this spectacle is when the lavender is in bloom, between July 1 and 15.
