Mount St Victoire

Mount St.Victoire (1,011m) is one of the landmarks of Provence.

'Victoire' in English means victory.

What a nice name, the Mountain of Victory!



Mount St.Victoire has been a source of inspiration for the famous post-impressionist artist Paul Cézanne. In addition, Picasso bought a Château situated at the foot of the mountain, and installed a studio there between 1959 and 1962.
