Gardanne rises on the foothills of Sainte-Victoire, between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, proudly bearing its industrial and artistic heritage. This Provençal town inspired master Paul Cézanne who immortalized its bell tower and ochre roofs in several famous paintings. The historic centre reveals picturesque lanes and shaded squares where traditional shops and lively cafés mingle. Once known for its coal mines, Gardanne is now reinventing itself around technology and innovation. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity of trails leading to the Sainte-Victoire mountain, a true symbol of Provence.
