It is here that Cubism was born, on this 7 hectare rocky plateau, quarried for stone for Aix monuments until the 18th century. Cezanne discovers the abandoned places: the vegetation has regained its rights, but the ocher-colored rock retains the shape of men's work. From this striking architecture, this exceptional nature, the painter created world-famous works between 1895 and 1904, such as The Red Rock.
