Starting from the village of Le Tholonet, we will first walk the paths taken by Paul Cezanne through the scrubland, punctuated by analyses of his works.

Elodie, a guide lecturer specialized in the painter, will tell you his story, his painting methods, and why he chose to settle at the Bibemus quarries for the last 10 years of his life.

In the second part of the walk, once we arrive at the Bibemus plateau, you will meet Emmanuelle Ricochastel, a painter graduated from the faculty of Aix-en-Provence and Paris IV, who will introduce you to creation on the motif, as in the time of the 19th century impressionists.
We will then set up your equipment outdoors in front of the chosen motif.

On each outing, you can try a different technique (charcoal, dry pastels, oil pastels, painting), on the Bibemus plateau (pine forest, cliff, balconies).
Open to beginners. From 7 years old.
