He painted there more than 70 works, transfixed by the luminous nature sceneries. You leave the town through plains carpeted by vineyards and olive groves. Then, you walk amidst a Mediterranean vegetation, surrounded by a diverse avifauna. As you climb through a pine grove up to the <em>Alpilles<\/em> crest, you soon enjoy outstanding 360-degree views. This nature walk could also have been called \u00ab\u00a0<em>Le Rocher des Deux Trous<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb (the Rock with two holes) because of a stone formation : at its base, two big holes, visible from far away, disappear as you are getting closer, before reappearing suddenly.

Later, on your way back to the little town of <em>St-Remy<\/em>, you have to recross the small range of the <em>Alpilles<\/em>. Your local guide leads you on different nature trails than the one taken earlier in the opposite direction. The vision of olive trees&rsquo; silvery leaves is the sign that you have reached the lower slopes. But the route through orchards and olive groves is another half hour long to see the first town squares. Then, you can finally enjoy the ambiance of the caf\u00e9 terraces, shaded by plane trees!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Walking time<\/strong> : 6 hours (the visit to <em>Ch\u00e2teau des Baux<\/em> is not included)<br \/><strong>Rating<\/strong> : challenging (long itinerary \/ rugged sections of terrain)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-1572249128237\" class=\"builder-section-prev-text builder-section builder-section-text builder-section-next-text has-background builder-section-full-width builder-text-columns-2\" style=\"background-color:#f98939;background-repeat: repeat;background-position: center center;\">\n<div class=\"builder-section-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-row\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-1\" id=\"builder-section-1572249128237-column-1\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14763\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_1.jpg?resize=960%2C719&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_1.jpg?resize=1024%2C767&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_1.jpg?resize=768%2C575&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_1.jpg?resize=24%2C18&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_1.jpg?resize=36%2C27&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_1.jpg?resize=48%2C36&amp;ssl=1 48w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_1.jpg?w=1156&amp;ssl=1 1156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-2\" id=\"builder-section-1572249128237-column-2\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0d0d3b;\"><strong>T<\/strong><\/span><strong>he western ridge<\/strong><strong> of <\/strong><span style=\"color: #0d0d3b;\"><strong>Mont Sainte Victoire<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #0d0d3b;\"><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0d0d3b;\">In the surroundings of <em>Aix en Provence<\/em>, this beautiful hike takes you up to the western ridge of <em>Mont Sainte Victoire<\/em>. You reach the altitude of 767 m (2,500 feet), as compared to 1,011 m for the top, in the central part of the mountain. Without requiring the physical necessary efforts needed to get to <em>Croix de Provence<\/em>, the most famous summit, it offers an outstanding panorama. Starting from <em>Le Tholonet,<\/em> at the southern foothills of the mountain, you firstly\u00a0 undergo one hour of warm up. Then, you climb a steep slope for half an hour. Once on the <em>Costes Chaudes<\/em> ridge, you can enjoy a fabulous 360\u00b0 view. In front of you, the sight of the famous triangular rocky peak that so much fascinated <em>C\u00e9zanne<\/em> is visible. But you have to leave it behind you and follow the ridgeline down towards the <em>Bimont Dam <\/em>and its lake. Finally, you walk back to <em>Le Tholonet\u00a0<\/em>through the <em>Nature Reserve of Sainte Victoire<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0d0d3b;\"><strong>Walking time<\/strong>\u00a0: 5 hours<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #0d0d3b;\"><strong>Rating<\/strong> : challenging<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-text_371\" class=\"builder-section-prev-text builder-section builder-section-text builder-section-next-banner builder-section-full-width builder-text-columns-2\" style=\"background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: center center;\">\n<div class=\"builder-section-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-row\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-1\" id=\"builder-section-text_371-column-1\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15265\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?resize=960%2C695&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?resize=1024%2C741&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?resize=300%2C217&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?resize=768%2C556&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?resize=1536%2C1112&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?resize=24%2C17&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?resize=36%2C26&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?resize=48%2C35&amp;ssl=1 48w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sainte-Victoire_flick_4.jpg?w=1556&amp;ssl=1 1556w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-2\" id=\"builder-section-text_371-column-2\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Hiking along the ridge of Mont Sainte Victoire<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On this legendary hike, your walking guide takes you from the bottom of the northern slopes of <em>Mont Sainte Victoire<\/em> up to the ridge.

As its name tells us, it is topped by a monumental cross made of metal and stone, which is visible 10 miles around. While following the east ridgeline for almost 2 hrs, you enjoy a fabulous 360-degree panorama.
