Cézanne's studio

A lovely place to visit, even though there is only one room to see. The most interesting part was listening to our guide, who is very knowledgeable (and speaks English perfectly)! I hope that eventually this space will be even more interesting, with more things to view and I'm grateful that they do their best to save the remembrances of a great painter.

Loved visiting Cézanne’s workshop, booked in advance for the guided tour (in French) with our family group and others. A fascinating glimpse into the painter’s world here, seeing the wonderful light he had. There’s not much to actually see in the workshop except a few props to help us try and imagine how it was then. Our guide was really knowledgeable, although talked rather fast that it was difficult for many in our group to catch everything, but recommend a visit.

We enjoyed the guided visit very much. The guide spoke excellent English and described many interesting vignettes about Cezanne's years in the studio and efforts to preserve it after his death. We look forward to returning to see the progress on restoring more of the studio.

The studio I visited itself is one room and oat of some gardens. It's not accessible and it's a ways from the city center. On the way back to our horn we had to wait over 1 hour for the bus (it was a Sunday) and no Ubers / Bolts were available that could fit a wallet on the trunk. So it just wasn't worth it for the mobility aspect given that we saw one room.

Really nice experience. Amazing to step into Cezanne’s atelier and see some of the pieces that used to be there at the time. Lovely tour guide and very friendly staff at the shop. Would definitely recommend reserving a spot in advance on their website. And don’t forget to walk up the hill of painters afterwards for a great view and experience where Cezanne used to create part of his art.

We tried to book for the museum but that was sold out many weeks before we arrived so thought a tour of his studio would be great. Ticket €9.50 each, says to arrive 20 minutes before your time slot. No idea why especially as only 3 chairs to sit on in the gift shop/waiting area. The staff at the desk weren’t particularly friendly. Our guide introduced himself and off we went through the garden, stopped to warn us about the path (it was very wet and slippery), and we arrived at his house. We entered the first room on the ground floor, stood around and given a background into Cezanne’s life. Then up the stairs to the studio. Stools provided to sit and hear more about Cezanne’s life and approach and then items of interest in his studio. There is his easel, a palette and a few bits and pieces but that’s about it. It’s a very empty space really for a studio and doesn’t give you a feel for how he worked here or how the space was really used. It’s a room basically. And that’s the tour, which a quick read of a website could have provided. Our guide was nice enough. He has perfect English however has a very thick French accent and spoke very fast so made it difficult to understand him ( I work with people from across the globe so very comfortable with accented English but even I struggled). NB. parking nearby is a nightmare so in fact turning up early proved to be a good idea purely to find a place to park. Tip- buy tickets online ahead as it does sell out.

Boring tour of women, who can hardly speak English. The content of the tour is irrelevant to the art of Cézanne. Just silly little anecdotes. Complete wastevofvtime. What a shame

Number of visitors is restricted as the 1st floor is not very spacious. Did not wait to enter as I was alone but might be something to consider and book in advance if you are a big group. You’ll only visit 1 floor (expected a bit more) however, there are lots of information shared and it’s quite impressive to be in that room and see all the decoration and visuals. Also nice to walk around the small garden.

The real life upstairs studio of Paul Cezanne set in the hilly suburban outskirts of the town of Aix-en-Provence. Massive windows allowing great light into the studio with period pieces and instruments used by the artist for his work. One can imaging the light cast upon the pieces which can be found in many of his works especially his still life pieces. The building houses a gift shop and is surrounded by a garden. Beware, besides mosquitos ... the studio is set in a hilly residential area with no street parking. Parking is several blocks away - uphill or down (with a subsequent corresponding descent or ascent upon the return!).

So inspirational. It consists of Cezanne's upstairs studio, patio and yard with a small walking trail. There is a group talk in English. Small gift shop. Admission was 6 Euros. Bathroom door doesn't lock well, so someone opened the door on me. Expect lots of mosquitos. It's walkable from the train station, or taxi is 10 euros. There's also a bus, not sure what number.

Museum tour was started with a short video of his life and then continued to Cezanne's studio. The studio is set-up as Cezanne may have left it. You will see his wooden model and fruit that may have been used to inspire his work. Gift shop to follow. I bought a pencil : ) Thought provoking experience. All pay homage to the mountain!

p4* Cezanne Atelier Aix-en-Provence Cezanne's wonderful art studio This was the room where he painted with his painting equipment and furniture Nice audiovisual presentation in the garden There is a gift shop No photos allowed in the interior

Great place with lots of information on Cezanne. It really helps you understand his paintings and you can picture yourself there in the room with him.

The good things about this place are very pretty cool leafy garden, well kept and were impressed by the staff who could speak multiple languages No so good: Parking is difficult. Recommend the audio guide sign is put by the ticket desk so that tourists know to ask for it when buying a ticket. Or the staff ask tourists if they want one. The sign for an audio guide is instead upstairs by the studio entry. It says "audio 3 euro Ask Staff." When I asked the women taking tickets into the studio for two audio guides she said go back down stairs and buy a ticket. I pointed to the sign which to me meant i buy the audio guide from her. She was then rude. This was not a nice experience. Please help tourists with a clear sign at the ticket desk. I checked again for a sign. It was too small and not noticable. Thank you

Regret. That is what you will feel if you do not visit Cezanne's house when you're in Aix! It's amazing the autumnal feeling this place will give you even in the middle of June. The light is truly different in Provence and no place captures the magic of this phenomenon better than Atelier Cezanne.

Cezanne's studio? As he left it? Still in existence? Are you friggin' kidding me??? Cezzane died in 1906, at which point someone bought his property and locked his studio door, leaving the studio undisturbed for 30 years. The buyer had the insight to know that Cezanne would one day be considered one of the great impressionists. Fast forward a few decades...the property changes hands and is at risk of being torn down in the name of "progress". This occurs on several occasions. Finally, in the 1960's, funds are raised to buy and permanently protect the property, and who does this....TWO AMERICANS!!!!! Unbelievable. The studio is as close as you will ever get to a master impressionist painter. The objects Cezanne used in many of his paintings liter the shelves. His old turpentine bottles, oil paints, pot belly stove, smock, hats, jackets, cane.....all right there. The objects have been moved around over the years as some items are loaned out for exhibitions etc. But all of Cezanne's belongings crowd the studio. It is a surreal experience to visit this place. Highly recommended, especially if you can see his original works in Paris either before or after visiting the studio.
