Lauves Studio

  • Historic site and monument
Atelier des Lauves, 13 avenue Paul Cezanne, 13090 Aix-en-Provence
The Lauves studio is a real place of memory, marked by Cezanne's imprint. Here you can discover objects familiar to the painter and immerse yourself in his creative intimacy.
Known as the "Atelier des Lauves", Cézanne's studio is a true place of memory, marked by the soul of the famous impressionist painter. The objects familiar to the artist immerse visitors in the daily life of the artist. This small farmhouse, at the foot of the Lauves hill, was transformed into a studio by Paul Cézanne. This Provencal country house became a refuge for the painter, who went there almost daily from 1902 to 1906, the year of his death. His writings, his work clothes, his paint pots, his personal objects and his work accessories allow us to relive his daily life. Cézanne's studio is spread over two levels. On the first floor, several rooms await you, while on the first floor the large space of his studio opens up. Bathed in light from the large windows to the south and the glass roof to the north, it was the birthplace of some of the painter's masterpieces, including the last of the Great Bathers. The site also houses a boutique and bookstore, and regularly organizes temporary exhibitions. Accessible for disabled
